Linaxa 5 mg Tablet contains linagliptin (5 mg) and acts on your body in the following ways:

• DPP-4 Inhibition: Linagliptin works by blocking an enzyme in your body called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). This enzyme usually breaks down certain hormones called incretins.

• Increase Incretin Action: By blocking the action of DPP-4, linagliptin effectively increases and prolongs the action of incretins. Incretins help stimulate the release of insulin when your blood glucose levels rise, decrease the levels of a hormone called glucagon, slow the emptying of your stomach, and reduce your appetite.

• Lowering Blood Sugar: This glucose-dependent activity of linagliptin contributes to lowering the levels of sugar in your blood.

• Always store your Linaxa 5 mg Tablet at room temperature, below 30°C.

• Keep the medicine in a closed container, away from light and moisture.

• Ensure Linaxa 5 mg Tablet is out of reach of children.

• It's vital to use this medicine before the expiry date mentioned on the package.

• Regular physical activity: Incorporate light exercises into your daily routine. Physical activity can help your body use insulin more effectively and lower your blood sugar levels.

• Balanced diet: Opt for a diet rich in fibre and low in refined carbohydrates and sweets. This can help you manage your blood sugar levels effectively. Consult your doctor for specific dietary advice suitable for you.
