Ondero 5 mg Tablet

Ondero 5 mg Tablet contains 5 mg of linagliptin in each tablet. It is an oral diabetes medicine in the DPP-4 inhibitor class, used to help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Ondero 5 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and is usually used along with diet, exercise, and sometimes other diabetes medicines. It is not used to treat type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

How it works: Linagliptin helps the body release more insulin after meals and lowers the amount of sugar the liver makes. As a tablet, Ondero 5 mg is swallowed and then works through the bloodstream to help control blood glucose over the day.

Ondero 5 mg Tablet is the standard linagliptin tablet strength, so it is the usual form chosen when a doctor wants a once-daily DPP-4 inhibitor dose. Because there are no other Ondero strengths or forms listed here, this 5 mg tablet is the product’s regular dosing option rather than a lower or higher step-up strength.
