✅ Uses

Type 2 diabetes mellitus

✅ Benefits

In Type 2 Diabetes:
Linacip 5mg belongs to a class of drugs called DPP-4 inhibitors (gliptins). It works by increasing insulin release from the pancreas after meals and reducing the release of excess glucose into the bloodstream. This helps lower both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels.

Consistently controlling blood sugar levels reduces the risk of serious diabetes-related complications, including kidney damage, vision loss, nerve damage, heart disease, and stroke. When combined with a proper diet and regular exercise, Linacip 5mg helps patients maintain a normal, healthy lifestyle.

⚠ Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and tend to resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. Contact your doctor if they persist or cause concern.

Common side effects may include:

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

Cough

Nasopharyngitis (throat and nasal inflammation)

Constipation

Vomiting

Diarrhea

Be aware of symptoms of low blood sugar, such as dizziness, sweating, lightheadedness, or fainting. Carry sugar or glucose candy to treat these symptoms if they occur.

✅ How to Use

Take Linacip 5mg exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole; do not chew, crush, or break it. It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day for consistent results.

✅ How It Works
