Product Details:

Diampa LT 10 mg / 5 mg tablet is a combination medication containing Empagliflozin and Linagliptin. It is specifically formulated to help manage blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. This dual-action therapy works by improving glycemic control through two mechanisms: Empagliflozin reduces the reabsorption of glucose by the kidneys, and Linagliptin increases insulin production and decreases glucose production in the liver. Together, they help lower blood sugar levels effectively and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with diabetes.

Purposes:

Diampa LT 10 mg / 5 mg tablet is used for:

• Managing blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient.
• Reducing the risk of cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes who have established cardiovascular disease.
