Linares Tablet contains linagliptin (5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• DPP-4 Inhibition: Linagliptin inhibits an enzyme called DPP-4 in your body. This enzyme typically breaks down incretin hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). These hormones stimulate your pancreas to produce more insulin when blood sugar levels are high.

• Enhanced Incretin Activity: By blocking the activity of DPP-4, linagliptin enhances and prolongs the activity of incretins. This leads to increased insulin secretion from the pancreas and decreased release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. These dual actions serve to lower blood sugar levels effectively.
