WHAT VIPDOMET IS AND WHAT IT IS USED
FOR
WHAT VIPDOMET IS
Vipdomet contains two different medicines called alogliptin and
metformin in one tablet:
-
alogliptin belongs to a group of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors
(dipeptidyl peptidase-4
inhibitors). Alogliptin works to increase the levels of insulin in the
body after a meal and
decrease the amount of sugar in the body.
-
metformin belongs to a group of medicines called biguanides which also
help to lower blood
sugar by lowering the amount of sugar made in the liver and helping
insulin to work more
effectively.
Both of these groups of medicines are “oral anti-diabetics”.
WHAT VIPDOMET IS USED FOR
Vipdomet is used to lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2
diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is also
called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or NIDDM.
Vipdomet is taken when your blood sugar cannot be adequately
controlled by diet, exercise and other
anti-diabetic medicines such as metformin alone; insulin alone; or
metformin and pioglitazone taken
together.
If you are already taking both aloglipti
