Summary
Barbiturates induce drug-metabolizing enzymes and may lower linagliptin exposure, though linagliptin is mostly eliminated unchanged so the effect is limited. Glycemic control may be somewhat reduced.
What this interaction means in plain words
Amobarbital and Empagliflozin-linagliptin can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
