Glyxambi Information

Glyxambi at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Glyxambi (empagliflozin/linagliptin) is manufactured by Boehringer Ingelheim in many countries worldwide, including India. The generic empagliflozin/linagliptin is currently unavailable at this pharmacy.

Dosage:

The brand Glyxambi is available as 10 mg/5 mg and 25 mg/5 mg oral tablets.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Glyxambi (empagliflozin/linagliptin) is a prescription medication primarily used to improve blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are not enough. It is also used to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes and established heart disease. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not use insulin efficiently, leading to high blood sugar. Glyxambi helps improve glucose levels and supports long-term protection against diabetes-related complications.

Mechanism of Action:
Glyxambi (empagliflozin/linagliptin) combines two diabetes medications. Empagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor. It helps the kidneys remove excess glucose from the blood through urine. It also lowers blood sugar, slightly reduces blood pressure, and may help with modest weight loss. Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that enhances the body's own incretin hormones. It increases insulin secretion after meals and reduces hepatic glucose production. The combination provides stronger and more consistent blood sugar control than either medicine alone.

Take Glyxambi exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the Product Monograph in Canada accompanying the medication. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.
