Incresync is indicated as a second- or third-line treatment in adult patients aged 18 years and older with type-2 diabetes mellitus: , as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in adult patients (particularly overweight patients) inadequately controlled on pioglitazone alone, and for whom metformin is inappropriate due to contraindications or intolerance;, in combination with metformin (i.e. triple combination therapy) as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in adult patients (particularly overweight patients) inadequately controlled on their maximal tolerated dose of metformin and pioglitazone. , In addition, Incresync can be used to replace separate tablets of alogliptin and pioglitazone in those adult patients aged 18 years and older with type-2 diabetes mellitus already being treated with this combination. After initiation of therapy with Incresync, patients should be reviewed after three to six months to assess adequacy of response to treatment (e.g. reduction in HbA1c). In patients who fail to show an adequate response, Incresync should be discontinued. In light of potential risks with prolonged pioglitazone therapy, prescribers should confirm at subsequent routine reviews that the benefit of Incresync is maintained (see section 4.4).,

WHAT INCRESYNC IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT INCRESYNC IS
Incresync contains two different medicines called alogliptin and
pioglitazone 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.
-
pioglitazone belongs to a group of medicines called
thiazolidinediones. It helps your body make
better use of the insulin it produces.
Both of these groups of medicines are “oral anti-diabetics”.
WHAT INCRESYNC IS USED FOR
Incresync 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.
Incresync is taken when your blood sugar cannot be adequately
controlled by diet, exercise and other
oral anti-diabetic medicines such as pioglitazone; or pioglitazone and
metformin taken together. Your
doctor will check whether Incresync is working 3 to 6 months afte
