Diplin M Tablet 2.5 mg+500 mg is a combination antidiabetic medication containing Linagliptin and Metformin Hydrochloride. This medicine is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when diet, exercise, and single-drug therapy are insufficient to control blood glucose levels effectively.

The combination of these two medicines works together to improve glycemic control through different mechanisms. Linagliptin helps increase insulin secretion and reduce glucose production after meals, while Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity. Together, they help maintain stable blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.
