Efficacy & effects

Improvement of blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes

  • Difficulty in blood sugar control for patients with type 2 diabetes
View approved original text

This medication is used as an adjunct therapy to improve blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes. It can be used alone as initial therapy or in combination with metformin if the patient has no previous diabetes treatment experience. Additionally, when adequate blood sugar control is difficult with sulfonylurea, metformin, thiazolidinediones, or insulin alone, this medication can be added to enhance efficacy. If blood sugar control is still insufficient with combination therapy, this medication can be added alongside sulfonylurea and metformin, thiazolidinediones and metformin, or insulin and metformin to achieve better blood sugar control. It is used to assist patients in managing their blood sugar in various treatment combination scenarios.
