Linero D 10mg/5mg Tablet

Q: Are there any special warnings for people with kidney or liver problems during Linero D 10mg/5mg Tablet treatment?

The effect of dapagliflozin present in Linero D 10mg/5mg Tablet depends on kidney function, so it works less effectively if your kidneys are weak. People with serious liver disease may also need closer medical supervision before starting this medicine.

Q: Can Linero D 10mg/5mg Tablet cause low blood sugar?

Linero D 10mg/5mg Tablet when taken alone, or with other anti-diabetic medicines, has a low risk of causing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). However, combining it with insulin or medicines called sulphonylureas can increase that risk, so your doctor may reduce those doses.

Q: What serious side effects of Linero D 10mg/5mg Tablet should I watch for?

Serious side effects of Linero D 10mg/5mg Tablet may include severe stomach pain, vomiting, or nausea (which could mean pancreatitis), rash, or blisters (possible bullous pemphigoid), or signs of dehydration, dizziness, or frequent urination. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms.

Q: What should I tell my doctor before starting Linero D 10mg/5mg Tablet?

Let your doctor know if you have a history of pancreatitis, kidney, or liver problems, frequent urinary or genital infections, or if you are taking other diabetes medicines or diuretics (“water pills”).

Q: Can dehydration or low blood pressure happen with this medicine?

Yes. Because dapagliflozin increases urine output, it can lead to dehydration or low blood pressure, especially in elderly patients or those on diuretics. Drink enough water unless told otherwise by your doctor.

Q: Is this medicine suitable for people with heart or kidney disease?

This combination can be beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes who also have heart failure or chronic kidney disease, but only under a doctor’s supervision, as dose adjustments or monitoring may be required.

Q: What should I do if I develop skin blisters or a severe rash?

Stop Linero D 10mg/5mg Tablet, and contact your doctor right away. A condition called bullous pemphigoid, which causes large fluid-filled blisters, has been reported with linagliptin use. Early treatment is important.

Any latest discoveris for type 1 mellitus Diabetes?

Dr. Sanjay Bhatt

Physician

Diabetes Ireland is delighted to hear of the Harvard success and congratulate Professor Melton and colleagues on figuring out the complex series of steps necessary to turn stem cells into beta cells. Hopefully, they can negotiate the regulations for mass production so that an abundant supply of beta cells is available an new and innovative methods will be developed to cure/treat Type 1 diabetes. Type I diabetes is an autoimmune condition whereby the body kills off its own beta (insulin producing) cells resulting in the need for daily insulin administration through the skin. Replacing beta cells in the first step towards a cure, but the replaced beta cells need to be protected from the body?s autoimmune response. This means protecting them in a coating or taking drugs to prevent the response (possible worse side effects than diabetes).
