Alogliptin

Uses

Alogliptin is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

How it Works

How Alogliptin works Alogliptin is an antidiabetic medication that increases the release of insulin from the pancreas while decreasing the hormones that elevate blood sugar levels. This action helps reduce fasting and post-meal sugar levels.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Alogliptin include headache, nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages), and upper respiratory tract infection.

Expert Advice

  • Alogliptin should be taken at the same time every day, as this helps you remember to take it.
  • Be cautious while driving or operating machinery until you understand how Alogliptin affects you.
  • It may cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) when used with other antidiabetic medications, alcohol, or if you delay or miss a meal.
  • Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemia symptoms such as:
    • Cold sweats
    • Cool, pale skin
    • Tremors
    • Anxiety
  • The chances of weight gain and low blood sugar are lower compared to other diabetes medications.
  • Inform your doctor if you notice joint pain or develop symptoms such as:
    • Stomach pain
    • Nausea
    • Vomiting
  • You should continue to exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and take your other diabetes medications along with Alogliptin.
  • Monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medication.
