Kazano (active ingredients: metformin hydrochloride/alogliptin benzoate) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Kazano is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise.

Kazano belongs to a class of drugs known as combination antidiabetics, which includes a DPP-4 inhibitor (alogliptin) and a biguanide (metformin). Alogliptin works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, which helps to regulate blood sugar levels, while metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity.

Kazano is available in tablet form and should be taken by mouth as prescribed by your doctor, generally twice a day with meals. While taking Kazano, be sure to drink plenty of fluids, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. The tablet should not be broken or cut before taking it. If you have difficulty swallowing the tablet whole, inform your doctor.

The dosage of Kazano is determined based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Inform your doctor and pharmacist of all the products you are using, including prescription drugs, non-prescription drugs, and herbal products.

To reduce the risk of side effects, such as an upset stomach, your doctor may suggest beginning the medication at a low dose and gradually increasing it. To experience the most benefit, take the tablet regularly and at the same time each day. Follow your diabetes management plan, including medications, exercise, and diet.

Your doctor will guide you on checking your blood sugar levels regularly. Keep track of your blood sugar results and share them with your doctor. If your blood sugar measurements frequently border on too high or too low, notify your doctor. They may need to make changes to your diabetes medication, exercise routine, or diet.

  • Lactic acidosis: Kazano may increase the risk of lactic acidosis, a rare but serious complication that can occur when there is an excess of lactic acid in the blood.
  • Renal impairment: Kazano should be used with caution in patients with renal impairment, as metformin is excreted unchanged in the urine and can accumulate in patients with reduced kidney function.
  • Hypoglycemia: Kazano can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels), particularly in combination with insulin or other medications that lower blood sugar.
  • Vitamin B12 deficiency: Kazano may cause a decrease in vitamin B12 levels, which can lead to anemia and other complications.
  • Heart failure: Kazano should be used with caution in patients with a history of heart failure, as it may increase the risk of cardiovascular events.
  • Hypersensitivity: Kazano should not be used in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to alogliptin or metformin.
  • Hepatic impairment: Kazano should be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment, as metformin is primarily cleared by the liver.
  • Surgery and contrast agents: Kazano should be discontinued before undergoing surgery or any radiological procedure involving the use of intravascular iodinated contrast agents.
  • Pregnancy and nursing: Kazano should not be used during pregnancy or nursing, as there is limited information on the safety and efficacy of this medication during those times.
  • Use in elderly: Kazano should be used with caution in elderly patients, as they may be more susceptible to the adverse effects of metformin.

The recommended starting dose of Kazano is one tablet taken twice daily with meals. Your healthcare provider may adjust your dosage as needed based on your blood sugar levels and response to the medication.

Can Kazano be taken on an empty stomach?

Kazano should be taken with meals to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects such as diarrhea and nausea.

Is Kazano safe for use in elderly patients?

Kazano should be used with caution in elderly patients, as they may be more susceptible to the adverse effects of metformin.

Can Kazano cause weight gain?
