Kazano Information

Kazano at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Brand Kazano (alogliptin/metformin) is manufactured by Takeda in many countries worldwide, including Canada and the United Kingdom. The generic alogliptin/metformin is currently unavailable at this pharmacy.

Dosage:

The brand Kazano is available as 12.5 mg/1000 mg oral tablets.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Kazano (alogliptin/metformin) is a prescription medication primarily used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is prescribed when diet and exercise alone do not provide enough blood sugar control. Kazano helps lower glucose levels and may reduce the long-term risks of diabetes complications, including kidney issues, nerve damage, and cardiovascular disease. Type 2 diabetes develops when the body cannot use insulin properly or does not produce enough insulin. Kazano helps improve insulin response, control post-meal glucose spikes, and lower overall blood sugar.

Mechanism of Action:
Kazano (alogliptin/metformin) is a combination of two diabetes medications. Alogliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor. It increases the natural incretin hormone levels and helps the pancreas release more insulin after meals. It also reduces excess glucose production in the liver. Metformin is a biguanide. It reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver and helps the body use insulin more effectively. It also decreases the amount of sugar absorbed by the body.

Take Kazano exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the Product Monograph in Canada accompanying the medication. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Kazano, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Side Effects:

The information below outlines potential side effects associated with Kazano (alogliptin/metformin). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary. This information is for educational purposes and should not replace professional medical advice. Before starting Kazano, it is crucial to discuss possible side effects and risks with your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects - These are common side effects of Kazano; others are possible. Contact your doctor promptly if any side effects persist, worsen, or concern you, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms.
• Diarrhea;
• Fatigue;
• Headache;
• Nausea;
• Stomach upset

Serious or rare side effects- Seek immediate medical attention or call emergency services if you experience any of the following:
• Severe abdominal pain;
• Signs of acute pancreatitis, including persistent, severe abdominal pain that may radiate to the back, with or without vomiting;
• Signs of lactic acidosis, including severe muscle pain, difficulty breathing, unusual drowsiness, stomach pain, or vomiting;
• Signs of liver issues, including dark urine, yellowing of the skin or eyes, and severe fatigue;
• Signs of severe allergic reaction, including rash, swelling, and breathing troubles

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting Kazano, it is essential to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, as well as all medications you are currently taking, with your doctor or pharmacist.

Kazano should not be used if:
• You have a known allergy to alogliptin/metformin or any of the ingredients in the medication.
• You have metabolic acidosis or diabetic ketoacidosis.
• You have severe kidney problems.
• You have type 1 diabetes

Tell your doctor about all of your medical conditions, past and present, before starting Kazano. This is crucial because certain conditions can affect whether Kazano is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• A history of bullous pemphigoid (a severe blistering skin condition)
• A history of pancreatitis
• A planned medical procedure or surgery requiring fasting or the administration of iodinated contrast agents
• Frequent infections or dehydration
• Heart failure
• Heavy or frequent alcohol use
• Kidney problems
• Liver problems
• Low vitamin B12 levels

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Kazano, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, refer to the medication guide.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also essential to inform your doctor about any herbal teas, recreational drugs, or significant dietary changes you are making, as these could potentially interact with Kazano. Kazano may interact with other medicines, but is not limited to:
• Drugs that increase the risk of lactic acidosis – NSAIDs, ACE inhibitors, diuretics, or alcohol can increase the risk of lactic acidosis from metformin.
• Drugs that increase the risk of low blood sugar – Using Kazano with medicines that lower blood sugar, such as insulin, glyburide, or glimepiride, can increase the risk of low blood sugar. Dosage adjustments may be required.
• Drugs that may alter metformin or alogliptin levels - rifampin and certain anticonvulsants may lower alogliptin levels, reducing its effectiveness. Cimetidine may raise metformin levels, increasing the risk of side effects.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Kazano is not recommended during pregnancy. Metformin is sometimes used alone in pregnancy under medical supervision, but alogliptin lacks adequate safety data. This medicine is not recommended for use while breastfeeding. Metformin passes into breast milk in small amounts, and the safety of alogliptin in nursing infants is not well established. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, it is crucial to consult your doctor immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kazano at Canada Pharmacy Online:

Why is Kazano more affordable in Canada than in the United States?

Prescription drug prices, including Kazano, are generally lower in Canada than in the U.S. due to a combination of factors, primarily government price regulations, differing market dynamics, and other economic considerations.
