Qtern is a combination diabetes medicine that contains the active ingredients dapagliflozin and saxagliptin. Both these ingredients are also diabetes medications. When taken together as Qtern, dapagliflozin and saxagliptin can lower blood sugar through multiple mechanisms of action.
Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that is used alone or with other diabetes drugs to manage blood sugar levels. The kidneys typically filter glucose out of the blood so it can be reabsorbed by the body. When blood sugar is too high, the kidneys may not be able to remove all the glucose. This leads to high glucose levels in urine, which is a classic sign of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Dapagliflozin reduces the amount of glucose absorbed by the kidneys. While this increases urine glucose levels, it also reduces the amount of glucose in the blood. Dapagliflozin is also sold under the brand name Farxiga.
Saxagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that’s also used either as a monotherapy or in combination with other diabetes treatments to lower blood sugar. Saxagliptin slows the breakdown of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1). This increases the release of insulin, which triggers cells to remove glucose from the blood; and decreases the release of glucagon, which triggers your liver and other cells to convert stored glucose into an immediately usable form and send this glucose into the blood. Savagliptin is also available as the brand-name drug Onglyza.
Precautions and Warnings about Qtern
Qtern treats type 2 diabetes, not type 1 diabetes. Do not take Qtern if you have type 1 diabetes.
Your blood sugar may be hard to control during stressful times while you’re taking Qtern. This includes excessive physical exertion or exercise; being ill; fever; recovering from illness, injury, or surgery; dehydration; or the lack of food. Low blood sugar is rare on Qtern but can be serious. Consider carrying glucose tablets or gels to treat low blood sugar.
It’s unclear if Qtern passes to a fetus during pregnancy or a baby during breastfeeding. Only take Qtern during pregnancy or breastfeeding if the potential benefits clearly outweigh the risks. Parents should discuss the safest way to manage their blood sugar during pregnancy and nursing with their doctors, including their child’s pediatrician.
Qtern may cause dizziness or drowsiness. Don’t operate heavy machinery or drive until you’re used to Qtern’s effects.
Do not use Qtern if you are allergic to dapagliflozin, saxagliptin, or any of the medicine’s inactive ingredients. Tell your doctor about your allergies and any problematic responses you’ve had to medicines in the past.

Qtern FAQs
How does Qtern work?
Qtern combines the diabetes medications dapagliflozin and saxagliptin to reduce blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes. Dapagliflozin prevents the kidneys from re-absorbing glucose, instead allowing the glucose to exit the body in urine. Saxagliptin prevents the breakdown of GLP-1 which triggers the body to release more insulin and less glucose. Together, these effects reduce the overall level of sugar in the blood.
