Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. As a selective and potent DPP-4 inhibitor, it enhances glycemic control by increasing endogenous incretin hormones, such as GLP-1 and GIP, which stimulate insulin release and reduce glucagon secretion. Linagliptin is characterized by its once-daily dosing regimen, a low potential for drug-drug interactions, and a favorable side effect profile. It is a valuable therapeutic option for individuals with type 2 diabetes who require adjunctive treatment to improve blood glucose control while minimizing the risk of hypoglycemia and other adverse effects.
