Kazano

Kazano is a prescription medication combining alogliptin and metformin, designed to help manage type 2 diabetes. Alogliptin enhances insulin release after meals and decreases glucose production in the liver, while metformin improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin and reduces sugar absorption in the intestines. Together, they provide comprehensive blood sugar control when used alongside diet and exercise.

• Supports better long-term diabetes outcomes when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
• Proven effective in clinical studies for managing type 2 diabetes.
