Linato M 2.5 mg/500 mg Tablet 10's is used to treat Type 2 Diabetes. It contains Linagliptin and Metformin, which help 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 effects such as hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels) characterised 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.
