Linagliptin and metformin
Linagliptin and metformin combines two blood-glucose-lowering medicines used in the management of type 2 diabetes. Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that helps support the body's incretin response, while metformin is a biguanide that primarily reduces glucose production by the liver and improves the body's response to insulin. These medicines are generally used alongside diet and physical activity as directed by a healthcare professional.
In the United States, all represented products on this page require a prescription.

The film-coated and extended-release products are not simply interchangeable: follow the product and dosing instructions provided by your prescriber. Extended-release tablets should be taken exactly as directed and generally should not be crushed, split, or chewed unless a healthcare professional specifically instructs otherwise.
