Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood) or resistance to insulin action. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts but cannot act on the body’s organs. Juslina-M 2.5 mg/500 mg Tablet 10’s contains Linagliptin and Metformin. Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that blocks the action of DPP-4, an enzyme that destroys the hormone incretin that helps the body produce more insulin only when required. It also reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver when not needed. Metformin functions by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines and increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Together, it prevents blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels after meals. Juslina-M 2.5 mg/500 mg Tablet 10’s should be taken with food to avoid an upset stomach.
