Linabest Duo 2.5/1000 Tablet 10's

Question 1

How does Linabest Duo 2.5/1000 Tablet 10's work?

Accepted Answer

Linabest Duo 2.5/1000 Tablet 10's contains Linagliptin (DPP4 inhibitors) and Metformin (Biguanide). Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that blocks the action of DPP-4, an enzyme that destroys the hormone incretin that helps the body produce more insulin only when required. 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.

Question 2

What is type 2 diabetes, and what are its symptoms and complications?

Accepted Answer

Type 2 diabetes is a common form of diabetes in which the blood sugar-lowering hormone called insulin produced by the body does not function properly.

Diabetes, if left untreated or not treated properly, can cause long-term complications such as nerve damage, kidney damage, eye damage, foot problems, and poses a high risk of developing heart diseases.
