Mode of Action of Ondero 5 MG
How Does It Work?
Type 2 diabetes is a condition where your body is unable to produce a hormone, insulin. Insulin is responsible for glucose metabolism and helps your body utilise glucose for energy. Linagliptin works by inhibiting the action of an enzyme. It stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas and reduces glucagon release (glucogon has opposite action to insulin, increases blood glucose levels). These two actions together reduce the release of glucose and help in controlling the raised blood glucose levels.
