Patient summary
Linagliptin with empagliflozin as a film-coated tablet, used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. A DPP-4 inhibitor with an SGLT2 inhibitor.
Mechanism of action
Glyxambi improves glucose control by combining two mechanisms. Linagliptin increases incretin hormone levels, enhancing insulin release. Empagliflozin prevents glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, causing excess sugar to be flushed through urine. Combined, these mechanisms improve glycemic stability without overstimulating insulin production in the body.
Glyxambi is a film-coated tablet containing linagliptin and empagliflozin at a strength of 25/5mg. It is used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, taken alongside diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control. The originator company is Boehringer Ingelheim. Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor and empagliflozin an SGLT2 inhibitor, working by different routes.
Linagliptin raises incretin hormone levels and so increases insulin release, while empagliflozin stops the kidneys reabsorbing glucose, letting excess sugar pass out in urine. Onset is 1–2 hours and the effect lasts about 24 hours. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious side effect needing immediate medical attention, and signs of it should be watched for; adequate hydration matters. Glyxambi is not for type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis or severe renal impairment, and is not recommended in pregnancy or breastfeeding.
