Linanext-M 2.5/500 Tablet is used to treat Type 2 Diabetes. It contains Linagliptin and Metformin, which helps the body produce more insulin only when required. It also reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver when not needed. Also, it lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. Thus, it prevents blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels after meals. It may cause common side effect such as hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels) characterized by dizziness, sweating, palpitations, hunger pangs, dry mouth, skin, etc. So to avoid hypoglycemia, you should not miss meals and should carry some form of sugar along with you. Other side effects include taste change, nausea, diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, and upper respiratory symptoms.
