What is Linagliptin?
Linagliptin is an FDA-approved antidiabetic pharmaceutical drug. This happens to be a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor used to manage hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the simplest terms, Linagliptin is a medication only for type 2 diabetes and not type 1 diabetes.
What are the uses of Linagliptin?: Medical Conditions Treated by Linagliptin
As mentioned above, Linagliptin is an exclusive medication used to treat symptoms of only Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
How does Linagliptin work?
As a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, Linagliptin slows the breakdown of GLP-1 and glucose-dependant insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). The GLP-1 and GIP stimulate the insulin release from beta cells in the pancreas while inhibiting the glucagon release from pancreatic beta cells. All these, together, reduce the breakdown of glycogen in the liver and increase insulin release in response to glucose; which is helpful in controlling type 2 diabetes in any patient.
How long does Linagliptin take to come into action?
Usually, Linagliptin starts to work within a few hours. For example, a single 5 mg tablet may take 1.5 hours time to reach its peak.
