Alogliptin and pioglitazone combination for type 2 diabetes mellitus

Abstract

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most common endocrine diseases. According to the International Diabetes Federation, by the end of 2021, the number of people with T2DM has reached 537 million and continues to grow. Given the progressive course of the disease, most patients need the combination of hypoglycemic drugs that affect different components of pathogenesis. This literature review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of prescribing a combination of alogliptin and pioglitazone in patients with T2DM.

Keywords:type 2 diabetes mellitus; treatment; alogliptin; pioglitazone; thiazolidinediones
