Managing the Side Effects:

Aloja 25 Tablet contains alogliptin (25 mg). Here's how it works in the body:

Inhibits DPP-4 enzyme: Alogliptin works by blocking an enzyme in your body called DPP-4. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down certain hormones called incretins.
Increases incretin levels: By blocking the DPP-4 enzyme, alogliptin prevents the breakdown of incretins, thereby increasing their levels in the body.
Stimulates insulin production: When blood glucose levels are high, these incretin hormones encourage the pancreas to produce more insulin.
Reduces glucagon secretion: After meals, incretins also reduce the secretion of glucagon from the pancreas. Both these actions help lower blood sugar levels.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Aloja 25 Tablet if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
