Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Some people may react differently to certain brands due to inactive ingredients. If you notice any side effects, inform your doctor immediately.

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Diabetic dyslipidaemia/hypertriglyceridemia

Medicinal Benefits

Linvas Tablet is an insulin sensitiser used to treat diabetic dyslipidaemia/hypertriglyceridemia in type-2 diabetes, which is not controlled by statins alone. Linvas Tablet has demonstrated reduction of triglycerides (TG), Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, non-High-Density Lipoprotein (non- HDL) cholesterol, Very Low-Density Lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, and an increase in HDL cholesterol. It has also shown glycemic indices by lowering the fasting plasma glucose and glycosylated haemoglobin in diabetic patients. Linvas Tablet has dual Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor (PPAR)-α/γ agonist having strong PPAR-alpha effect and moderate PPAR-gamma effect. PPAR-alpha reduces the synthesis and secretion of triglycerides, increases lipolysis and hepatic oxidation of fatty acids. It also induces an increase in the synthesis of HDL cholesterol. PPAR-gamma reduces the metabolic burden on the liver, muscle and promotes glucose utilisation, and improves post-absorptive insulin-mediated suppression of hepatic glucose output. Linvas Tablet has both lipid and glucose-lowering effects in a single molecule; this helps in lowering blood triglycerides and blood glucose levels as well. It also helps in improving insulin resistance. Linvas Tablet offers a superior safety profile, greater efficacy on lipid regulation, and excellent glycaemic control.
