The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, and can be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medications. It is important for patients to follow a balanced diet and engage in regular physical activity to maximize the benefits of treatment.
Side effects may include upper respiratory tract infections, headaches, or allergic reactions. In rare cases, pancreatitis or hypoglycemia may occur, especially when linagliptin is used with other blood sugar-lowering medications.
