Linagliptin + Metformin is a combination medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that helps control blood sugar levels by increasing the production of insulin and decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver. Metformin is a biguanide that works by decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver and improving the body's response to insulin. Together, these medications help to improve blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes.
