Vipidia/Alogliptin

[kjc2011]

Hi, as from today my GP has now prescribed 25mg vipidia alongside my 80mg gliclazide 4 times daily (2 morning and 2 evening meal) and also 45mg once daily pioglitazone. Has anyone ever had any experience with vipidia I know alongside gliclazide can cause hypos so will have meter strips and hypo kit with me but is thee anything else to be aware of anyone experience taking them? Thanks. Alongside my angina medication ( 2 different types) BP meds (again 2 different types) statins and thyroid medication feel like I'm constantly rattling lol

I am not on this drug but the warnings include a possible need for a decrease in your gliclazide to avoid hypos.
