Can I take Alogliptin and Bisoprolol together?

Perché succede

Bisoprolol is a beta-blocker. These medicines can mask the physical symptoms of low blood sugar, such as a fast heartbeat or tremors. Additionally, beta-blockers can sometimes interfere with how the body releases glucose, which may enhance the blood-sugar-lowering effect of alogliptin.

You can take these medicines together, but you should be aware that you might not feel the usual 'shaky' or 'racing heart' sensations if your blood sugar drops. Pay closer attention to other signs of low blood sugar, such as sweating, hunger, or blurred vision. Monitor your blood glucose levels regularly as advised by your doctor.

Asthma or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Bisoprolol can cause narrowing of the airways, which may trigger a severe asthma attack or worsen breathing difficulties. Ensure your doctor knows if you have a history of wheezing.]

Acute Pancreatitis

Stop taking alogliptin and seek immediate medical help if you experience severe and persistent stomach pain, which may reach through to your back, as this can be a sign of an inflamed pancreas.

Alcol

Drinking alcohol can increase the blood-pressure-lowering effect of bisoprolol, which may make you feel dizzy or light-headed, especially when you first start taking it or if your dose is increased. It is best to keep your alcohol intake within recommended limits and see how the medicine affects you before drinking.
