How does QTERN work?

QTERN is a combination of two medications.

  • Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It works in the kidneys to prevent the absorption of sugar back into your body. It lowers blood sugar by causing your body to get rid of excess sugar through your urine
  • Saxagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It works by blocking DPP-4, a protein that breaks down certain hormones that normally tell your body to make more insulin and produce less sugar. In doing so, saxagliptin helps lower your blood sugar levels
