Frequently asked questions

Can Metformin+Linagliptin cause hypoglycemia?

Can Metformin+Linagliptin cause lactic acidosis?

Symptoms include muscle pain, dizziness, cold extremities, breathing difficulties, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and slow heart rate. If you experience these symptoms, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
What are the side effects of Metformin+Linagliptin?
