Patient summary
Linagliptin with empagliflozin as a film-coated tablet, used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A DPP-4 inhibitor with an SGLT2 inhibitor.
Mechanism of action
Glyxambi improves glucose control by combining two mechanisms. Linagliptin increases incretin hormone levels, enhancing insulin release. Empagliflozin prevents glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, causing excess sugar to be flushed through urine. Combined, these mechanisms improve glycemic stability without overstimulating insulin production in the body.
Glyxambi combines linagliptin and empagliflozin, a dual-action therapeutic approach for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. This medication helps the pancreas produce insulin while simultaneously assisting the kidneys in removing excess sugar from the body. It is supplied as a tablet in the 25/5mg strength.
