Sinjard-L Tablet 10 mg+5 mg is a combination oral antidiabetic medication containing Empagliflozin and Linagliptin. This dual-action therapy is designed to provide effective glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. By combining two different mechanisms of action, it helps lower blood glucose levels more efficiently than monotherapy. It is particularly beneficial for patients who require additional control despite using a single antidiabetic agent.

Composition
-
Empagliflozin 10 mg
-
Linagliptin 5 mg
Mechanism of Action
Sinjard-L Tablet works through two complementary mechanisms:
-
Empagliflozin: An SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to increased glucose excretion through urine.

Together, these actions help maintain stable blood glucose levels throughout the day.
