Vipidia

Vipidia is a tablet used to treat type 2 diabetes. It helps manage your diabetes by controlling your blood sugar levels. This not only alleviates the symptoms of diabetes but also contributes to improving your overall health. By taking it, you'll not only feel better now but also lower the risk of future complications.

Vipidia is typically used alongside other medicines for type 2 diabetes, so you'll likely be taking additional treatments as well. It's a suitable choice if adjusting your diet and increasing exercise haven't been enough to manage your diabetes.

The active ingredient in Vipidia, which makes it effective, is alogliptin benzoate. Alogliptin belongs to a group of medicines known as DPP-4 inhibitors. It works by blocking the DPP-4 enzyme, which helps your body produce its own insulin by slowing down the breakdown of incretins.

Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate your blood sugar, or glucose, by managing how much is absorbed from your blood and stored in your cells. If you have type 2 diabetes, your pancreas may not produce enough insulin, and your body finds it difficult to move glucose from your blood into your cells. Vipidia assists with this process, helping to lower and stabilise your blood glucose levels to a healthier range.

Vipidia tablets come in three different strengths: 6.25mg, 12.5mg, and 25mg. The usual dose is 25mg per day, but you might need a lower dose if you have other health conditions.

You'll typically take Vipidia with one or two other diabetes treatments. A clinician will need to ensure all your dosages are suitable for you. If you share your health information with us, our clinicians can assist in finding the right dose for you.

Vipidia is unique because it's the only tablet that contains just alogliptin. If other type 2 diabetes treatments haven't worked well for you, Vipidia could be a suitable option.

Vipidia is a bit different from other diabetes medications because it's usually used as an additional treatment. If you're happy with your current medication but need a bit more help, your clinician might suggest Vipidia.

There are other DPP-4 inhibitors available for treating type 2 diabetes, such as Onglyza, Galvus, Januvia, and Trajenta. Since they belong to the same class of medication, they help manage your diabetes in a similar manner. However, they contain different active ingredients, so one might suit you better than the others.

Vipdomet is a diabetes medication that includes the same active ingredient as Vipidia, which is alogliptin. The key difference is that Vipdomet is a combination treatment, as it also contains Metformin.

Vipidia is usually used alongside other treatments, whereas Vipdomet can often manage diabetes by itself. Therefore, if you're currently taking Metformin and Vipidia separately, switching to Vipdomet might be a better option.

Vipidia is highly effective. It has been proven to help manage your blood sugar more easily, resulting in noticeable decreases in both HbA1c and FPG levels.

Unlike some other diabetes medicines, it's unlikely to cause common side effects such as weight gain, stomach issues, or hypoglycaemia.

It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle when managing diabetes, even if you're on medication. Keeping active and eating a balanced diet can help you manage your diabetes and improve your overall health.

Vipidia is a prescription-only medicine and is specifically for individuals with type 2 diabetes. You'll need to consult a clinician who will review your health information to determine if it's suitable for you.
