Product Description
DYNAGLIPT LM 2.5/1000MG is a fixed-dose combination diabetes medication that contains Metformin and Linagliptin. Metformin is an oral antidiabetic drug that helps lower blood glucose levels by decreasing glucose production in the liver and increasing insulin sensitivity. Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that works by increasing the release of insulin and reducing the production of glucagon, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. This combination medication is prescribed to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient. DYNAGLIPT LM 2.5/1000MG helps in controlling blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of complications associated with diabetes, and improving overall glucose management.
