Linero M Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is a combination medicine that contains linagliptin and metformin as its active ingredients. This medication
works by enhancing insulin production and restoring the body's natural response to insulin.

Linero M Tablet should be taken in the correct doses and for the exact duration prescribed by your doctor. Avoid missing a dose or exceeding the prescribed amount. While using this medication, it is vital to implement certain lifestyle changes, such as enjoying a healthy and balanced diet, staying active, quitting smoking, and regularly monitoring your blood sugar. These measures may assist in managing your diabetes and improving your overall health. Common side effects of this medication include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, headaches, nasal congestion, and sore throat. Additionally, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) may occur if you are taking other diabetes medications such as insulin or sulphonylurea, making it important to understand how to recognize and manage this condition.
