Medical Description
Qtern tablet is a prescription medicine used along with a healthy diet and regular exercise to help control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It contains two active components, dapagliflozin and saxagliptin, which work together to manage blood glucose more effectively. This combination is prescribed when a single medicine may not be enough to keep blood sugar under control.
Qtern tablet is recommended for adults with type 2 diabetes who need better control of their blood sugar levels. It is not meant for people with type 1 diabetes or for treating diabetic ketoacidosis. Your doctor may prescribe it as part of a long-term diabetes management plan that includes lifestyle changes.
Qtern tablet helps lower blood sugar in two ways. Dapagliflozin helps your body remove excess sugar through urine, while saxagliptin helps your body release insulin in a natural, glucose-dependent way. Together, they help reduce both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels.
Qtern tablet is usually taken once daily, with or without food, exactly as advised by your doctor. It may cause some common side effects, such as urinary tract infections or mild respiratory infections. Regular follow-ups and blood tests are important while using this medicine.
