Xenglu Lin 25/5mg Tablet contains empagliflozin 25mg and linagliptin 5mg, a combination of two oral antidiabetic medicines used to improve blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

Empagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that helps the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine. Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that helps increase insulin release when blood sugar is elevated and reduces the release of glucagon. Together, they provide complementary effects to help manage blood glucose levels.

Xenglu Lin should be used alongside a healthy diet and regular physical activity according to your healthcare professional's advice.
