Evogliptin

Uses

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

How it Works

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

Side Effects

Common side effects of Evogliptin include nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages), stomach inflammation, periodontitis, hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), and erectile dysfunction.

Expert Advice

  • Evogliptin should be taken at the same time every day to help you remember to take it.
  • Be cautious while driving or operating machinery until you understand how Evogliptin affects you.
  • It may cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) when used with other antidiabetic medicines, 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
    • Tremor
    • Anxiety
  • The chances of weight gain and low blood sugar are lower compared to other diabetes medicines.
  • Inform your doctor if you notice joint pains or develop symptoms such as:
    • Stomach pain
    • Nausea
    • Vomiting
  • Continue to exercise regularly, eat a healthy diet, and take your other diabetes medicines along with this medication.
  • Monitor your blood sugar level regularly while taking this medicine.

Other Combinations

Evogliptin + Metformin
