How It Works
LINAONE Tablet contains Linagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases the levels of incretin hormones in the body. Incretins stimulate insulin release and reduce glucagon levels in response to food intake, helping to lower blood sugar. It is especially useful in managing postprandial glucose spikes and improving overall glycemic control.
