WHAT QTERN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Qtern contains the active substances saxagliptin and dapagliflozin.
Each belongs to a group of
medicines called “oral anti-diabetics”. These medicines are taken
by mouth for diabetes.
Qtern is used for a type of diabetes called “type 2 diabetes
mellitus” in adult patients (aged 18 years
and older). If you have type 2 diabetes, your pancreas does not make
enough insulin or your body is
not able to use the insulin it produces properly. This leads to a high
level of sugar in your blood. The
two active substances in Qtern work in different ways to help control
the level of sugar in your blood
and remove excess sugar from your body via your urine.
Qtern is used to treat type 2 diabetes when:
-
saxagliptin or dapagliflozin alone together with metformin and/or
sulphonylurea cannot control
your diabetes.
-
you are already being treated with saxagliptin and dapagliflozin as
single tablets. Your doctor
may ask you to switch to this medicine.
It is important to continue to follow the advice on diet and exercise
given to you by your doctor,
pharmacist or nurse.
