Lijenta 5 Tab, 1 strip
Description:
Lijenta 5 is an inhibitor of DPP-4 , an enzyme that degrades the incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP. Thus, Linagliptin increases the concentratins of active incretin hormones, stimulating the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner and decreasing the secretion of glucangon from pancreatic alpha cells in the circulation.Thus it improves glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Indication
Lijenta 5 is indicated in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycaemic control in adults. As monotherapy-in patients inadequately controlled by diet and exercise alone and for whom metformin is inappropriate due to intolerance or contraindicated due to renal impairment. As combination therapy-in combination with metformin when diet and exercise plus metformin alone do not provide adequate glycaemic control-in combination with a sulphonylurea and metformin when diet and exercise plus dual therapy with these medicinal products do not provide adequate glycaemic control.
Dosage & Administration
5 mg once daily. If added to metformin, the dose of metformin should be maintained and linagliptin administered concomitantly. When used in combination with a sulfonylurea, a lower dose of the sulphonylurea may be considered to reduce the risk of hypoglycaemia.
Patients with renal impairment: no dose adjustment required. Linagliptin can be taken with or without a meal at any time of the day.
Patients with renal impairment: no dose adjustment required. Linagliptin can be taken with or without a meal at any time of the day.
