QTERN is a prescription medication used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is a combination of two active ingredients, dapagliflozin and saxagliptin. Dapagliflozin works by helping the kidneys remove glucose from the bloodstream through the urine, while saxagliptin increases the release of insulin after meals, a hormone that helps control blood sugar levels. Together, these components help to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet and exercise. QTERN is taken orally, typically once a day, and is not recommended for patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.
