About QTERN
What is this medication?
Qtern is a prescription oral medication specifically used to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. This drug combines two different types of medications into a single daily tablet: saxagliptin and dapagliflozin. Saxagliptin works by regulating the levels of insulin the body produces after eating, while dapagliflozin helps the kidneys remove excess sugar from the bloodstream through urination. By utilizing these two distinct mechanisms, the medication provides a comprehensive approach to glycemic control.
This medication is intended to be used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise routine. It is not suitable for individuals with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis. Doctors typically prescribe it to patients who require more than one medication to keep their glucose levels within a target range. Consistent use of the medication as directed can help prevent long-term health complications associated with high blood sugar, such as nerve damage or kidney issues.
