LinATAB M 2.5/1000 ER is an extended-release combination medication that contains linagliptin and metformin, designed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Linagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, enhances insulin secretion and lowers glucagon levels, while metformin improves insulin sensitivity and decreases hepatic glucose production. The extended-release formulation allows for a gradual release of the active ingredients, providing sustained blood sugar control throughout the day. The 2.5/1000 mg dosage indicates the specific strengths of linagliptin and metformin, enabling tailored treatment to meet individual patient needs. LinATAB M is typically prescribed as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes dietary changes and physical activity. Patients should follow their healthcare provider's instructions for optimal effectiveness and to minimize the risk of side effects.
