Glitin M 2.5/500 mg is a combination medication used for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains two active ingredients:
Linagliptin (2.5 mg): A DPP-4 inhibitor that helps increase insulin production and decreases the release of glucose from the liver, improving overall blood sugar control.
Metformin Hydrochloride (500 mg): A biguanide that reduces the production of glucose in the liver and increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin.
This combination helps regulate blood sugar levels in patients who are unable to control their diabetes through diet and exercise alone. The usual recommended dose is one tablet, taken twice daily with meals. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels regularly and adjust the dosage as needed under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
