Coport L Tablet 25 mg + 5 mg combines Empagliflozin and Linagliptin for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Empagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, lowers blood glucose by promoting urinary glucose excretion, while Linagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, enhances insulin secretion and reduces glucagon levels. This higher-strength formulation is ideal for patients who need intensified glycemic control or have not achieved adequate results with lower doses. The combination provides effective HbA1c reduction, weight neutrality, and a convenient once-daily oral therapy.

Patients requiring combination therapy for better glycemic management

Mechanism of Action
-
Empagliflozin (25 mg): Inhibits SGLT2 in the proximal renal tubules, reducing glucose reabsorption and increasing urinary glucose excretion, leading to lower blood sugar levels.
-

The combination provides complementary mechanisms for enhanced blood glucose control, weight neutrality, and minimal risk of hypoglycemia.
