WHAT VIPIDIA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Vipidia contains the active substance alogliptin which belongs to a
group of medicines called DPP-4
inhibitors (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors) which are “oral
anti-diabetics”. It 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.
Vipidia works to increase the levels of insulin in the body after a
meal and decrease the amount of
sugar in the body. It must be taken together with other anti-diabetic
medicines, which your doctor will
have prescribed for you, such as sulphonylureas (e.g. glipizide,
tolbutamide, glibenclamide),
metformin and/or thiazolidinediones (e.g. pioglitazone) and metformin
and/or insulin.
Vipidia is taken when your blood sugar cannot be adequately controlled
by diet, exercise and one or
more of these other oral anti-diabetic medicines. It is important that
you continue to take your other
anti-diabetic medicine, and continue to follow the advice on diet and
exercise that your nurse or doctor
has given yo
