Can I take Alogliptin and Losartin together?

Why this happens

Alogliptin helps lower blood sugar, and some blood pressure medications like losartan can occasionally enhance this effect. Additionally, both drugs can affect a system in the body that regulates swelling, which may rarely lead to an allergic-type reaction.

What you should do

It is generally safe to take these together, but you should monitor your blood sugar levels more closely, especially when starting or changing doses. Seek immediate medical help if you notice any swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, or if you have difficulty breathing.
