Who Can And Cannot Take Saxagliptin

Who can take saxagliptin

Most adults aged 18 years and older can take saxagliptin.

This medicine is not used to treat type 1 diabetes (when your body does not produce insulin).

Saxagliptin is not suitable for some people. To make sure it's safe for you, tell your doctor if you:

have ever had an allergic reaction to saxagliptin or any other medicine
have kidney disease or liver disease
have heart failure
have (or have previously had) problems with your pancreas
are at increased risk of infection (after an organ transplant or because of a condition like AIDS)
are pregnant or breastfeeding, or trying to get pregnant

OutUK's A to Z of Gay Health continues and you can read this week's feature L: Laxatives. We have covered many subjects in this series and you can catch up with all of our Previous A to Z Features. If you want to find out more about this particular topic you can visit the Original article on the NHS website. If you are worried by any aspect of your health make sure you go and see your doctor or book an appointment at your local clinic.
