About Emlinz M 1000 Tablet 10's

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood) or resistance to insulin action. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts but cannot act on the body's organs.

Emlinz M 1000 Tablet 10's contains Linagliptin (DPP4 inhibitors) and Metformin (Biguanide).

It also reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver when not needed. Metformin functions by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Together, it prevents blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels after meals.
