The FDA on Monday approved the first oral therapy to combine three type 2 diabetes medications into one pill: the SGLT2 inhibitor empagliflozin, the DPP-IV inhibitor linagliptin and metformin hydrochloride extended release, according to a press release from Boehringer Ingelheim and Eli Lilly and Co.
The triple combination therapy (Trijardy XR) is approved to lower blood glucose for adults with type 2 diabetes along with diet and exercise.
“Many adults living with type 2 diabetes who are already on a treatment plan including multiple medications still struggle to keep their blood sugar under control, and may require additional agents to reach their [HbA1c] targets,” Ralph A. DeFronzo, MD, director of the diabetes research unit at the University of Texas Health Science Centre at San Antonio, said in the release. “Adding new medicines to an individual’s plan can be challenging for some, which is why new treatment options that can help improve blood sugar without the burden of an increased pill count are important. In addition, type 2 diabetes is a complex disease that often requires the use of multiple antidiabetic medications to improve glycaemic control. Having three different diabetes medications in a single tablet is an important advance in diabetes treatment.”
In the U.S., empagliflozin (Jardiance, Boehringer Ingelheim/Eli Lilly) and linagliptin (Tradjenta, Boehringer Ingelheim/Eli Lilly) are both once-daily tablets also approved to lower blood glucose for adults with type 2 diabetes. In 2016, the FDA approved a new indication for empagliflozin to reduce the risk for cardiovascular death among adult patients with type 2 diabetes and CVD. In June, the FDA granted fast track designation to empagliflozin for the reduction of risk for CV death and hospitalization for heart failure in people with chronic heart failure.
In findings from the CARMELINA trial presented at the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions in June and reported by Healio, researchers found that linagliptin did not increase risks for a new CV event or progression of renal disease among adults with type 2 diabetes, established CVD and renal impairment vs. placebo, regardless of age or the level of renal impairment. Additionally, a head-to-head comparison of the sulfonylurea glimepiride against linagliptin in a cohort of more than 6,000 adults with type 2 diabetes demonstrated no between-group differences for incidence of nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke and CV death during a median of 6 years, according to data from the CAROLINA trial, also reported at ADA.

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future in jectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because I have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but I still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr JAMES Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from ACUTE MYELOFIBROSIS, ALZHEIMER's symptoms, BREAST CANCER, DIABETES, HAIR LOSS AND HAIR TREATMENT, KIDNEY DISEASES, LEUKEMIA, MYELOID LEUKEMIA, STEM CELL TREATMENT,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
