Pharmacology
Linagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases active incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), stimulating glucose-dependent insulin release and reducing glucagon secretion; metformin is a biguanide that decreases hepatic glucose production, reduces intestinal glucose absorption, and improves peripheral insulin sensitivity.
Saxagliptin is a competitive DPP-4 inhibitor that slows the inactivation of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), increasing their bloodstream concentrations and reducing fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations in a glucose-dependent manner in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
