Vipdomet Tablets – Alogliptin & Metformin, 56 Tablets

What Vipdomet is?

Vipdomet Tablets contains two different medicines called alogliptin and metformin in one tablet:
alogliptin belongs to a group of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors (dipeptidyl peptidase-4inhibitors). Alogliptin works to increase the levels of insulin in the body after a meal anddecrease the amount of sugar in the body.
metformin belongs to a group of medicines called biguanides which also help to lower bloodsugar by lowering the amount of sugar made in the liver and helping insulin to work moreeffectively.

Both of these groups of medicines are “oral anti-diabetics”.

What Vipdomet is used for?

Vipdomet is used to lower blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or NIDDM.
Vipdomet is taken when your blood sugar cannot be adequately controlled by diet, exercise and other anti-diabetic medicines such as metformin alone; insulin alone; or metformin and pioglitazone taken together.
If you are already taking both alogliptin and metformin as single tablets, Vipdomet can replace them in one tablet.
It is important that you continue to follow the advice on diet and exercise that your nurse or doctor has given you.

What is type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body does not make enough insulin, and the insulin that your body produces does not work as well as it should. Your body can also make too much sugar. When this happens, sugar (glucose) builds up in the blood. This can lead to serious medical problems like heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, and amputation.

  • Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood to become too high.
  • It can cause symptoms like excessive thirst, needing to pee a lot and tiredness. It can also increase your risk of getting serious problems with your eyes, heart and nerves.
  • It’s a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to change your diet, take medicines and have regular check-ups.
  • It’s caused by problems with a chemical in the body (hormone) called insulin. It’s often linked to being overweight or inactive, or having a family history of type 2 diabetes.

Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes

Many people have type 2 diabetes without realising. This is because symptoms don’t necessarily make you feel unwell.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:

  • peeing more than usual, particularly at night
  • feeling thirsty all the time
  • feeling very tired
  • losing weight without trying to
  • itching around your penis or vagina, or repeatedly getting thrush
  • cuts or wounds taking longer to heal
  • blurred vision

You’re more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes if you:

  • are over 40 – or 25 for south Asian people
  • have a close relative with diabetes – such as a parent, brother or sister
  • are overweight or obese
  • are of south Asian, Chinese, African Caribbean or black African origin – even if you were born in the UK

Understanding your type 2 diabetes medication

Most people need medicine to control their type 2 diabetes.

The medicine helps keep your blood sugar level as normal as possible to prevent health problems. You’ll have to take it for the rest of your life.

Diabetes usually gets worse over time, so your medicine or dose may need to change.

Adjusting your diet and being active is also necessary to keep your blood sugar level down.

How to manage your diabetes

A healthy diet and keeping active will help you manage your blood sugar level. It will also help you to control your weight and generally feel better.

YOU CAN EAT MANY TYPES OF FOODS

There’s nothing you can’t eat if you have type 2 diabetes, but you’ll have to limit certain foods.

You should:

  • eat a wide range of foods – including fruit, vegetables and some starchy foods like pasta
  • keep sugar, fat and salt to a minimum
  • eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day – don’t skip meals

If you need to change your diet, it might be easier to make small changes every week.

What you need to know before you take Vipdomet
Do not take Vipdomet:
• if you are allergic to alogliptin, metformin or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6)
• if you have had a serious allergic reaction to any other similar medicinesthat you take to control your blood sugar. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include; rash, raised red patches on your skin (hives), swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat that may cause difficulty in breathing or swallowing. Additional symptoms may include general itching and
feeling of heat especially affecting the scalp, mouth, throat, palms of hands and soles of feet (Stevens-Johnson syndrome).
• if you have -severely reduced kidney function
• if you have uncontrolled diabetes, with, for example, severe hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose), nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, rapid weight loss, lactate acidosis (see “Risk of lactic acidosis” below) or ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is a condition in which substances called  ketone bodies’ accumulate in the blood and which can lead to diabetic pre-coma. Symptoms include stomach pain, fast and deep breathing, sleepiness or your breath developing an unusual fruity smell.
• if you have a severe infection or are seriously dehydrated (have lost a lot of water from your body)
• if you recently had a heart attack or have severe circulatory problems including shock
• if you have severe breathing difficulties
• if you have liver disease
• if you drink alcohol excessively (either every day or in large quantities only from time to time)
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Vipdomet :
• if you have type 1 diabetes (your body does not produce insulin).
• if you are taking Vipdomet with insulin or a thiazolidinedione. Your doctor may want to reduce your dose of insulin or a thiazolidinedione when you take it together with Vipdomet in order to avoid too low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia).
• if you are taking another medicine for diabetes that contains a “sulphonylurea”, you should not start taking Vipdomet.

• if you have or have had a disease of the pancreas.
• in case of symptoms suggestive of liver injury during Vipdomet therapy.
Contact your doctor if you encounter blistering of the skin, as it may be a sign for a condition called bullous pemphigoid. Your doctor may ask you to stop alogliptin.
Risk of lactic acidosis
Vipdomet may cause a very rare, but very serious side effect called lactic acidosis, particularly if your kidneys are not working properly. The risk of developing lactic acidosis is also increased with uncontrolled diabetes, serious infections, prolonged fasting or alcohol intake, dehydration (see further information below), liver problems and any medical conditions in which a part of the body has a
reduced supply of oxygen (such as acute severe heart disease). If any of the above apply to you, talk to your doctor for further instructions.
Stop taking Vipdomet for a short time if you have a condition that may be associated with dehydration (significant loss of body fluids) such as severe vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, exposure to heat or if you drink less fluid than normal. Talk to your doctor for further instructions.
Stop taking Vipdomet and contact a doctor or the nearest hospital immediately if you experience some of the symptoms of lactic acidosis, as this condition may lead to coma.
Lactic acidosis is a medical emergency and must be treated in a hospital. If lactic acidosis is suspected, seek medical attention from a doctor or a hospital.
Symptoms of lactic acidosis include:
• vomiting
• stomach ache (abdominal pain)
• muscle cramps
• a general feeling of not being well with severe tiredness
• difficulty in breathing
• reduced body temperature and heartbeat
If you need to have major surgery you must stop taking Vipdomet during and for some time before and after the procedure. Your doctor will decide when you must stop and when to restart your treatment with Vipdomet.
During treatment with Vipdomet, your doctor will check your kidney function at least once a year or more frequently if you are elderly and/or if have worsening kidney function
Children and adolescents
Vipdomet is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years due to the lack of data in these patients.
Other medicines and Vipdomet
If you need to have an injection of a contrast medium that contains iodine into your bloodstream, for example in the context of an X-ray or scan, you must stop taking Vipdomet before or at the time of
the injection. Your doctor will decide when you must stop and when to restart your treatment with Vipdomet.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken or might take any other medicines. You may need more frequent blood glucose and kidney function tests, or your doctor may need to adjust the dosage of Vipdomet. It is especially important to mention the following:
• hydrocortisone and prednisolone (corticosteroids), used to treat diseases that involve inflammation like asthma and arthritis
• cimetidine, used to treat stomach problems
• bronchodilators (beta-2 agonists), used to treat asthma
• medicines which increase urine production (diuretics)
• medicines used to treat pain and inflammation (NSAID and COX-2-inhibitors, such as ibuprofen and celecoxib),
• certain medicines used for the treatment of high blood pressure (ACE inhibitors and angiotensin II receptor antagonists)
• medicines containing alcohol.
Vipdomet with alcohol
Avoid excessive alcohol intake while taking Vipdomet since this may increase the risk of lactic acidosis – see section “Warnings and precautions”.
