Efficacy & effects

Improvement in blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes

  • Difficulty in controlling blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes
View approved original text

This medication is used in conjunction with dietary and exercise therapy to help control blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. Initially administered alone, it can be used in combination with metformin if blood sugar control is insufficient. It can also be administered alongside sulfonylureas, metformin, thiazolidinediones, or insulin when monotherapy is ineffective. In cases where controlling blood sugar is difficult with multiple medications, this drug can be added to enhance therapeutic effects. It is used flexibly in various situations to improve blood sugar control in patients.
