&#8211; Alogliptin uses, dose and side effects"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>25 mg, 12.5 mg, and 6.25 mg\u00a0film-coated tablets<br>alogliptin<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Vipidia is and what it is used for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vipidia contains the active substance alogliptin which belongs to a group of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors) which are &#8216;oral diabetes medicines.\u00a0It is used to lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2\u00a0diabetes.\u00a0Type 2\u00a0diabetes\u00a0is also called non-insulin-dependent\u00a0diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vipidia works by increasing the levels of\u00a0insulin\u00a0in the body after a meal and reducing the amount of sugar in the body.\u00a0It must be taken with other diabetes medicines prescribed by doctors, such as a sulphonylurea (eg glipizide, tolbutamide, glibenclamide),\u00a0metformin,\u00a0and\/or a thiazolidinedione (eg pioglitazone) and\u00a0metformin\u00a0and\/or\u00a0insulin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vipidia is taken when diet, exercise, and one or more of these other diabetes medicines do not provide adequate blood sugar control.\u00a0You must continue to take your other diabetes medicines and continue to follow the diet and exercise advice given to you by your nurse or doctor.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you need to know before you take Vipidia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do not take Vipdia:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you are allergic to alogliptin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).<\/li><li>if you have had a serious\u00a0allergic reaction\u00a0to any similar medicine that you take to control your blood sugar.\u00a0Symptoms of a severe\u00a0allergic reaction\u00a0may include, rash, red raised spots on the skin (hives), and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat, which may cause difficulty in breathing or swallowing.\u00a0Additional symptoms may include general\u00a0itching\u00a0and a feeling of warmth, particularly affecting the scalp, mouth, throat, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet (Stevens-Johnson syndrome).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warnings and precautions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Vipidia:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>if you have type l\u00a0diabetes\u00a0(your body does not produce\u00a0insulin\u00a0)<\/li><li>if you have diabetic\u00a0ketoacidosis\u00a0(a complication of\u00a0diabetes\u00a0that occurs when the body cannot break down\u00a0glucose\u00a0because there is not enough\u00a0insulin\u00a0).\u00a0Symptoms include severe thirst, frequent urination, loss of appetite, nausea or vomiting, and rapid weight loss.<\/li><li>if you use a diabetes medicine that is a so-called sulphonylurea (eg glipizide, tolbutamide, glibenclamide) or\u00a0insulin.\u00a0Your doctor may want to lower the\u00a0dose of\u00a0sulphonylurea or\u00a0insulin\u00a0when you take either of them together with Vipidia to avoid low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).<\/li><li>if you have kidney disease, you can still take this medicine but the doctor may need to lower the\u00a0dose<\/li><li>if you have the liver disease<\/li><li>if you suffer from\u00a0heart failure<\/li><li>if you take\u00a0insulin\u00a0or other antidiabetic medicine, your doctor may choose to reduce the\u00a0dose\u00a0of your antidiabetic medicine or\u00a0insulin\u00a0when you take them with Vipidia to avoid low blood sugar.<\/li><li>if you have or have had the pancreatic disease.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Children and young people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vipidia is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age as there is a lack of data from these patients.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other medicines and Vipidia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pregnancy and breastfeeding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before using this medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no experience with the use of Vipidia in pregnant or lactating women.&nbsp;Vipidia should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.&nbsp;Your doctor will help you decide whether to continue breastfeeding or continue using Vipidia.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving ability and use of machinery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vipidia has no known influence on the ability to drive and use machines.\u00a0Taking Vipidia together with other diabetes medicines called sulphonylureas,\u00a0insulin,\u00a0or in combination with thiazolidinedione and\u00a0metformin\u00a0can cause low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia), which can affect your ability to drive and use machines.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to take Vipidia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Always take this medicine as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.&nbsp;Ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The doctor will prescribe Vipidia together with one or more other medicines to control blood sugar levels.&nbsp;Your doctor will tell you if you need to change the&nbsp;dose&nbsp;of one of the other medicines you are taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The recommended\u00a0dose\u00a0is 25 mg of Vipidia once daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patients with kidney disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have kidney disease, the doctor may\u00a0prescribe\u00a0a lower\u00a0dose.\u00a0It may be 12.5 mg or 6.25 mg once a day, depending on how severe your kidney disease is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patients with liver disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have mild or moderate liver dysfunction, the recommended&nbsp;dose&nbsp;is one of Vipidia 25 mg once daily.&nbsp;This medicine is not recommended for patients with severe hepatic impairment as there is a lack of data from these patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swallow the tablets whole with water.&nbsp;You can take the medicine with or without food.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you have taken too much Vipidia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have ingested too much medicine, or if e.g.&nbsp;a child has ingested the medicine, you must immediately contact or visit the nearest emergency department.&nbsp;Bring this information and some tablets so the doctor knows exactly what you have taken.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you forget to take Vipidia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have forgotten to take a\u00a0dose, take it as soon as you notice that you have missed a\u00a0dose.\u00a0Do not take a double\u00a0dose\u00a0to make up for a missed\u00a0dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">If you stop taking Vipidia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do not stop taking Vipidia without consulting a doctor.&nbsp;Blood sugar levels may rise when you stop taking Vipidia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions about this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Possible side effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like all medicines, this medicine can cause\u00a0side effects, although not everybody gets them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STOP taking Vipidia and contact your doctor immediately<\/strong>&nbsp;if you experience any of the following&nbsp;<strong>serious side effects:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Frequency not known<\/strong>&nbsp;(cannot be estimated from available data):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Allergic
