Active Ingredient: Luseogliflozin
Luseogliflozin is indicated in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control in adults as:
Monotherapy
When diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate glycemic control in patients for whom use of metformin is considered inappropriate due to intolerance.
Add-on combination therapy
In combination with glucose-lowering medicinal products including insulin preparations in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control when diet and exercise plus monotherapy does not provide adequate glycemic control.
For this indication, competent medicine agencies globally authorize below treatments:
For:
Oral, 2.5 milligrams luseogliflozin, to breakfast. Afterwards, oral, between 2.5 milligrams luseogliflozin and 5 milligrams luseogliflozin, to breakfast.
Usually for adults, 2.5 mg as luseogliflozin should be orally administered once daily before or after breakfast. When the effect is insufficient, the dose can be increased to 5 mg once daily while closely monitoring the clinical course.
Because physiological function is generally impaired in elderly patients, luseogliflozin should be administered carefully while monitoring the conditions of patients.
Because detection of the symptoms of dehydration (including thirst) may be delayed in elderly patients, caution should be exercised.
Before or after breakfast.
