What Is Kazano?
Kazano (alogliptin-metformin) is a prescription medication used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It works by combining alogliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases insulin release and decreases glucagon in a glucose-dependent manner, with metformin, a biguanide that reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, Kazano can help lower blood sugar levels as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes diet and exercise.

Is Online Kazano Treatment Right for You?
Kazano is indicated for adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not adequately controlled on metformin or alogliptin alone, or who are already taking both components separately. It is not indicated for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Because Kazano contains metformin, it requires assessment of kidney function before and during treatment. Your physician will also review your cardiovascular history, risk for lactic acidosis, and any other medications that may interact with either component.

Frequently asked questions
Kazano is a fixed-dose combination of alogliptin and metformin. Alogliptin inhibits the enzyme DPP-4, which increases levels of incretin hormones that stimulate insulin release and suppress glucagon in a glucose-dependent manner. Metformin reduces the amount of glucose the liver produces and improves the body's sensitivity to insulin. Together, the two components lower blood sugar through complementary mechanisms.
Kazano is taken twice daily with food to reduce the chance of stomach upset. Your doctor will prescribe the specific dose of alogliptin and metformin that is appropriate for your kidney function and current blood sugar control. Never adjust your dose without talking to your prescriber first.
The most common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, and headache, particularly when starting therapy. These gastrointestinal effects are largely related to the metformin component and often improve over time when the medication is taken with food. Tell your doctor if side effects are severe or persistent.
Kazano is not recommended for people with moderate to severe kidney disease, a history of serious hypersensitivity to alogliptin or metformin, or conditions that increase the risk of lactic acidosis. It is also not approved for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Your physician will review your full medical history before prescribing.
When used alone, Kazano has a low risk of causing hypoglycemia because alogliptin works in a glucose-dependent manner. However, the risk increases if Kazano is combined with insulin or a sulfonylurea. Be aware of the signs of low blood sugar, such as shakiness, sweating, and rapid heartbeat, and discuss them with your doctor.
Metformin carries a boxed warning for lactic acidosis, a rare but serious condition. The risk is higher in patients with kidney impairment, liver disease, heart failure, or heavy alcohol use. Alogliptin has been associated with rare cases of pancreatitis and serious allergic reactions. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop unusual muscle pain, trouble breathing, severe abdominal pain, or signs of an allergic reaction.
