✅ Uses

Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus

✅ Benefits

In Type 2 Diabetes:
Linacip E 5/10 Tablet combines two antidiabetic agents – Empagliflozin and Linagliptin – to lower blood sugar levels effectively:

Empagliflozin helps remove excess glucose from the body through urine.

Linagliptin reduces glucose production in the liver, slows glucose absorption from the intestines, and improves insulin sensitivity.

By controlling blood sugar levels, this medicine lowers the risk of serious complications such as kidney disease, nerve damage, eye problems, and cardiovascular events. Regular use, along with proper diet and exercise, supports long-term health and helps maintain a normal lifestyle.

⚠ Possible Side Effects

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

Common side effects include:

Nasopharyngitis (throat and nasal inflammation)

Genital fungal infections

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)

Cough

Nausea or vomiting

Constipation

Urinary tract infections

Drinking plenty of fluids and maintaining proper hygiene can help reduce some of these risks.

✅ How to Use

Take the tablet exactly as prescribed. Swallow it whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking. It can be taken with or without food, but try to take it at the same time every day for consistent results.

✅ How It Works

Linacip E 5/10 Tablet works through a dual mechanism:

Empagliflozin helps your body eliminate excess sugar through urine.

Linagliptin lowers blood sugar by decreasing glucose production in the liver, slowing sugar absorption from the gut, and improving insulin effectiveness.

Together, these actions help maintain optimal blood glucose levels throughout the day.
