There is no “saxagliptin tablets can generally eat how long before stopping” this statement, saxagliptin tablets need long-term treatment, if there is no obvious adverse reactions, should not blindly stop their own medication.
Saxagliptin tablets are dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 is a hormone that is produced naturally in the intestines after food intake, and saxagliptin can block its degradation, regulate insulin secretion, enhance the utilization of glucose in peripheral tissues, and then reduce blood sugar.
Saxagliptin is suitable for glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes. The risk of hypoglycemia is relatively low and it is easy to take. It can be used in conjunction with diet and exercise to help control blood glucose, is safe and effective, is particularly suitable for elderly patients with diabetes, has a relatively small effect on body weight, and can be used alone or in combination with other mechanisms of glucose-lowering drugs.
Since type 2 diabetes is a disease that requires lifelong treatment, if the blood sugar control is still good, the emergence of obvious adverse reactions or intolerance before considering stopping saxagliptin and change the drug treatment, unauthorized stopping the drug may cause blood sugar to rise again.
Patients who need to take saxagliptin treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor, should not blindly stop taking the drug.
