Product Description
Linagliptin, developed by Boehringer Ingelheim, was approved by the FDA on May 2, 2011. It is used in combination with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Linagliptin works by inhibiting dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), thereby improving glycemic control in patients.
Compared with other DPP-4 inhibitors, Linagliptin offers the following main advantages:
-
Excellent renal safety profile
-
Effectively reduces glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels
-
Primarily excreted unchanged in feces; only about 5% of the oral dose is excreted via the kidneys
-
Even with intravenous administration, only 30.8% is renally excreted
-
No need for regular liver or kidney function monitoring or dose adjustment
-
Fixed dosing for all patients, making prescription more convenient
