About Linapride-D Tablet

Linapride-D Tablet is used to treat Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood to become too high. It's a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to change your diet, take medicines and have regular check-ups to lead a normal life.

Linapride-D Tablet contains dapagliflozin and linagliptin. This medicine works by increasing the removal of sugar by your kidneys. Linagliptin works by increasing levels of natural substances called incretins. Incretins help regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release, particularly after meals. They also decrease the amount of sugar your liver makes.

Not everyone who is taking Linapride-D Tablet will get these side effects. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as frequent urination, dizziness, or light-headedness. To reduce the risk of dizziness and light-headedness, get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily in the morning. The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsens (if your blood sugar is too high or too low).

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to dapagliflozin or linagliptin; or have other allergies. Linapride-D Tablet should not be stopped even if you feel better, without consulting your doctor as your sugar level keeps changing. If you stop taking Linapride-D Tablet abruptly, it may increase your sugar levels which could further increase the risk of eyesight loss, kidney damage, and nerve damage. Linapride-D Tablet should not be taken if you have type 1 diabetes mellitus or severe kidney or liver disease. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
