Coport L Tablet combines Empagliflozin 10 mg and Linagliptin 5 mg, offering a dual-action approach to managing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, reduces blood glucose by increasing urinary glucose excretion, while Linagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, enhances the body’s own insulin secretion and reduces glucagon levels. Together, they provide effective glycemic control, improved HbA1c reduction, and a convenient once-daily oral therapy.

Indications
Coport L Tablet 10 mg + 5 mg is indicated for:
-
Adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled by diet and exercise
-
Patients requiring combination therapy for better blood glucose management
-
Adjunct to other antidiabetic medications as prescribed by a physician
-
Reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications associated with type 2 diabetes
Mechanism of Action
-
Empagliflozin: Inhibits SGLT2 in the renal proximal tubules, reducing glucose reabsorption and increasing urinary glucose excretion, leading to lower blood glucose levels.
-
Linagliptin: Inhibits DPP-4 enzyme, prolonging the activity of incretin hormones, which stimulate insulin release and suppress glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner.
The combination provides complementary mechanisms for better glycemic control, weight neutrality, and low risk of hypoglycemia.
