Sinjard-L Tablet 25 mg+5 mg is a combination oral antidiabetic medication containing Empagliflozin and Linagliptin.

Composition
-
Empagliflozin 25 mg
-
Linagliptin 5 mg
Mechanism of Action
Sinjard-L Tablet works through dual pathways to regulate blood glucose:
-
Empagliflozin: A sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, increasing urinary glucose excretion and lowering blood sugar levels.
-
Linagliptin: A dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that enhances incretin hormone activity, promoting insulin secretion and reducing glucagon levels in a glucose-dependent manner.
This combination ensures improved glycemic control without significantly increasing the risk of hypoglycemia.
