Drug Details
Qtern is a prescription medication combining dapagliflozin and saxagliptin, designed to help adults with Type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. When used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise, it aids in preventing complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, nerve issues, amputations, and sexual dysfunction. Proper diabetes management with Qtern may also reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Dapagliflozin works by promoting increased sugar elimination through the kidneys, while saxagliptin enhances the levels of incretins, natural substances that boost insulin release after meals and decrease sugar production by the liver. Common side effects include runny nose, sneezing, or cough, and there is an increased risk of urinary tract infections, so maintaining good hygiene is recommended. Qtern is taken orally, typically once daily in the morning, and is currently available only as a brand-name drug. Always consult with your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.
