Linapil DM 10mg/5mg/500mg Tablet

Product Overview
Linapil DM 10mg/5mg/500mg Tablet is prescribed to help manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise. This medication enhances insulin sensitivity, decreases glucose production in the liver, and promotes the elimination of excess glucose through urine. By doing so, it helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

Take Linapil DM exactly as your healthcare provider directs. It can be taken with or without food, usually once or twice daily. For best results, try to take it at the same time every day to maintain steady blood sugar control. Regular monitoring of your blood glucose levels is important, as well as following your doctor’s advice regarding diet and lifestyle changes.

Possible Side Effects
Some patients may experience mild side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, reduced appetite, or weakness. These usually improve with time or when taken with food. If you notice severe side effects, such as symptoms of low blood sugar (like dizziness or confusion) or signs of urinary tract infections, contact your doctor promptly.

Avoid this medication if you have serious kidney or liver issues, or if you are allergic to any ingredients in Linapil DM. Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of pancreatitis, urinary infections, or diabetic ketoacidosis. It’s also important to stay well-hydrated, especially if you are at risk of dehydration or taking other medications affecting kidney function.
