View approved original text

This medication is used to help improve blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is generally administered as an adjunct to a regimen of diet and exercise. For patients who have difficulty controlling their blood glucose, it may be initiated as monotherapy and can be combined with metformin if necessary. Additionally, if blood glucose control is insufficient with monotherapy or combination treatment using sulfonylureas, metformin, thiazolidinediones, or insulin, this medication may be added to improve blood glucose levels. It effectively aids in the improvement of blood glucose control when used in conjunction with various treatment methods.
