Product Introduction:
Ajaduo 10/5mg Tablet is a combination medication containing Empagliflozin (10mg) and Linagliptin (5mg). It is prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Empagliflozin belongs to the class of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, while Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. Together, they work to lower blood sugar levels through different mechanisms.
Ajaduo 10mg/5mg Tablet can be taken with or without food at any time of day but you should try to take it at the same time every day. The dose will be decided by your doctor. Don’t stop taking it without asking your doctor. If you do, your blood sugar levels may increase and put you at risk of serious complications like kidney damage and blindness. This medicine is only part of a treatment program that should include a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight reduction as advised by your doctor.
The most common side effects of this medicine include urinary tract infection, nasal congestion, sore throat, and upper respiratory tract infection. Drinking plenty of fluids while using it will help prevent dehydration. Some people may develop fungal infections in the genital area. Maintaining good hygiene can help prevent this.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems or a urinary tract infection or if you are on water pills (diuretics). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. Avoid excessive alcohol intake while taking it as this may increase the risk of developing some side effects. Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medicine.

Side Effects:
