Linagliptin works by blocking the DPP-4 enzyme, which normally breaks down the incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP. When these hormones stay active for longer, insulin is released from the pancreas in response to blood sugar and the level of glucagon in the blood comes down. This helps in regulating glucose in the body after meals.

Must not be used if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to linagliptin or to any of the tablet's excipients. Must not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.
