Linaglip
Presentation:
Linaglip Tablet: Each film coated tablet contains Linagliptin INN 5 mg.

Indications:
Linaglip is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Linaglip may be used as monotherapy or in combination with other common antidiabetic medications including Metformin, Sulfonylurea, Pioglitazone, or Insulin. As a replacement therapy it is suitable when Metformin therapy is not appropriate due to intolerance or do not provide adequate glycemic control as monotherapy or other antidiabetic drugs are to be discontinued due to renal or hepatic impairment.

Dosage & Administration:
The recommended dose of Linaglip is 5 mg once daily and can be taken with or without food. If added with Metformin, the dose of Metformin should be maintained and Linaglip administered concomitantly. When used in combination with Sulfonylurea, a lower dose of Sulfonylurea may be considered to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia.
Should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis

Contrainidications:
Linaglip is contraindicated to patients hypersensitive to Linagliptin or any of the excipients.

Warning & Precautions:
When used with an Insulin secretagogue (e.g., sulfonylurea) or Insulin, consider lowering the dose of the Insulin secretagogue or Insulin to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia.
If pancreatitis is suspected, Linagliptin should be discontinued.
There have been no clinical studies establishing conclusive evidence of macrovascular risk reduction with Linagliptin or any other antidiabetic drug.

Side effects:
Some of the less common side effects are nasopharyngitis, hypoglycemia.

Drug interaction:
Linagliptin doesn’t interact with Metformin, Glyburide, Simvastatin, Warfarin, Digoxin or oral contraceptives. Linagliptin is a weak competitive and a weak to moderate mechanism-based inhibitor of CYP isozyme CYP3A4, but does not inhibit other CYP isozymes. Again it doesn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t act as an inducer of CYP isozymes.

Use in special groups:
Pregnancy: There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Linagliptin tablets should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit of mother justifies the potential risk of the fetus.
Nursing mothers: Caution should be exercised when Linagliptin is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric patients: Safety and effectiveness of Linagliptin in patients below the age of 18 have not been established.
Renal or hepatic impairment: No dose adjustment required.
