Alogliptin helps manage type 2 diabetes by improving pancreatic insulin production and delaying the emptying of the stomach. Used in conjunction with lifestyle changes the medication can significantly slow or even halt progression of diabetic symptoms, helping patients retain quality of life and independence.

Alogliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor that inhibits production of the hormone glucagon, which increases production of hormone incretin, which in turn increases production of insulin and slows stomach emptying time, resulting in an overall reduction of blood glucose.

Patients should not buy alogliptin to treat:

• Patients under 18 years of age
• Type 1 diabetes
• Ketoacidosis

This medication is more commonly known by the brand names Nesina or Vipidia, among others. It's also possible to buy alogliptin in combination with metformin under the brand name Vipidomet.

A Convenient & Safe Solution

Alogliptin may used on its own or with other diabetic medications; it is often prescribed when metformin proves insufficient on its own. Either way, treatment is simple and straightforward; many patients choose to buy alogliptin over similarly-acting medications for its convenience. Benefits include:

• Administered via tablet, rather than injection
• Taken just once per day
• Taken without regard to meals
• Discreet and easily portable
• Serious side effects are very unlikely
• No known interactions with other medications

Because type 2 diabetes is associated with kidney damage it's vital that patients have kidney function checked prior to starting treatment. In fact kidney function is the biggest determining factor in dosage:

• Patients with low or no kidney damage should take 25 mg per day.
• Patients with moderate kidney damage should take 12.5 mg per day.
• Patients with severe kidney damage should take 6.25 mg per day.

Kidney function will need to be monitored throughout treatment and dosage adjusted accordingly, if needed. Kidney damage seldom produces noticeable symptoms until severe; monitoring function can prevent costly, painful, and potentially deadly complications.

Possible Side Effects

The most common side effects associated with alogliptin are are similar to symptoms of the common cold and not cause for concern unless severe. Patients should be alert for symptoms of low blood glucose, though this is less likely to occur with alogliptin than with sulfonuric medications.

Patients planning to buy alogliptin should be aware the medication is associated with a very slight (less than 1% in most cases) increased risk of some more serious complications, including pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), congestive heart failure, and joint pain (arthralgia). If detected early these conditions are typically reversible if treatment with alogliptin ends. It is unclear if patients who have had prior episodes of pancreatitis are at increased risk of developing it from alogliptin. Patients with a history of heart disease may want to speak with a doctor about alternative treatments.

The impact of alogliptin on unborn or nursing babies is unknown.
