The recommended dose is Limpa 5/10 mg Tablet once daily in the morning taken orally with or without food. In patients tolerating Limpa 5/10, the dose may be increased to Limpa 5/25 mg Tablet once daily.

Combination of Linagliptin & Empagliflozin is contraindicated in patients on dialysis. It is also contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity reaction to Linagliptin, such as anaphylaxis, angioedema, exfoliative skin conditions, urticaria, bronchial hyper reactivity, or a history of serious hypersensitivity reaction to Empagliflozin.

Pancreatitis: If pancreatitis is suspected, promptly discontinue combination of Linagliptin & Empagliflozin; Heart Failure: Consider risks and benefits of Linagliptin & Empagliflozin in patients who have known risk factors for heart failure. Monitor the signs and symptoms; Hypotension: Before initiating combination of Linagliptin & Empagliflozin assess and correct volume status with renal impairment, the elderly, in patients with low systolic blood pressure, and patients on diuretics. Monitor for signs and symptoms during therapy; Ketoacidosis: Assess patients who have with signs and symptoms of metabolic acidosis for ketoacidosis. If suspected, discontinue this combination. Acute kidney injury and impairment in renal function: If acute kidney injury occurs, discontinue combination of Linagliptin & Empagliflozin and monitor renal function during therapy; Urosepsis and Pyelonephritis: Evaluate patients for signs and symptoms of urinary tract infections and treat promptly, if indicated; Hypoglycemia: Consider lowering the dose of insulin secretagogue or insulin to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. Genital Mycotic Infections: Monitor and treat as appropriate; Fournier’s gangrene (rare infection): Healthcare professionals should assess patients for Fournier’s gangrene if they present with the symptoms (tenderness, redness, or swelling of the genitals or the area from the genitals back to the rectum and have a fever above 100.4o F or a general feeling of being unwell). If suspected, start treatment immediately with broad-spectrum antibiotics and surgical debridement if necessary.

The most common adverse reactions (≥5%) associated with combination of Linagliptin & Empagliflozin (5/10 mg, 5/25 mg) were urinary tract infections, nasopharyngitis, and upper
respiratory tract infections.

Co-administration of Empagliflozin with diuretics resulted in increased urine volume and frequency of voids, which cause volume depletion. Linagliptin or Empagliflozin in combination with an insulin secretagogue (e.g., Sulfonylurea) or insulin was associated with a higher rate of hypoglycemia compared with placebo in a clinical trial. Rifampin decreased Linagliptin exposure & efficacy may be reduced when administered in combination with a strong P-gp or CYP3A4 inducer.

Pregnancy: Advise females of the potential risk to a fetus especially during the second and third trimesters. Lactation: Combination of Linagliptin & Empagliflozin is not recommended when breastfeeding. Pediatric Patients: Safety and effectiveness of Linagliptin & Empagliflozin combination tablet in pediatric patients have not been established. Geriatric Patients: Higher incidence of adverse reactions related to volume depletion and reduced renal function.

Renal Impairment: Higher incidence of adverse reactions related to reduced renal function.
