Ondero Met 2.5mg/500mg Tablet comprises two active ingredients which work together to control blood sugar levels:

• Linagliptin (2.5 mg): As a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, linagliptin works by slowing down the inactivation of certain hormones called incretins in your body. The result? An increase in insulin secretion and decrease in glucagon secretion when glucose is present in your body. These actions effectively lower blood glucose levels while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

• Metformin (500 mg): This component falls under a class of medications known as biguanides. Metformin works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by your liver, decreasing your intestines' absorption of glucose, and improving how responsive your body's cells are to insulin. These actions all contribute to reduce fasting and after-meal blood sugar levels.
