What is Linagliptin used for?

Linagliptin is primarily used to help manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, which help regulate blood sugar. This medication is often prescribed alongside diet and exercise to improve glycemic control. It may also be used in combination with other diabetes medications, as determined by a healthcare provider.
