Lina Met 2.5/500mg Tablets 14’s is a combination anti-diabetic medicine containing Linagliptin 2.5mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg. It is used for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus when diet, exercise, and single medicine therapy are not enough to control blood sugar levels.

This medicine works through a dual mechanism: Linagliptin increases insulin release when needed, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Together, they help maintain better long-term blood sugar control.
