Why is Nesina prescribed?

Nesina, with the generic name Alogliptin, is used to control blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes along with diet, exercise, and weight loss. Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body cannot utilize insulin normally, leading to elevated blood sugar levels.

What does it do?

Alogliptin is classified under Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which increases the amount of insulin in the body to maintain blood sugar levels to normal levels.

How should I take it?

Nesina is currently available 6.5mg, 12.5mg, and 25mg tablets taken whole (not split, chewed, or crushed) by mouth with or without food. Nesina only controls the symptoms of type 2 diabetes and does not cure it. Do not discontinue taking this medication unless told otherwise.

The dosage strength and frequency depend on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only take this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if taken properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, take it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never take two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before taking Nesina?

Follow the diet plan and exercise regimen recommended by your doctor or dietitian while taking this medication.

Inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking. Discuss your current and previous medical history and any allergic reactions to Nesina, or any other ingredients included in the manufacture of this medication.
