Answer
Taking Vipdomet with food does not change total exposure (AUC) to alogliptin or metformin, although peak concentrations decrease by 13% and 28%, respectively, and metformin’s peak is delayed by 1.5 hours; these changes are unlikely to be clinically significant, and Vipdomet should be taken with meals to reduce metformin-related gastrointestinal effects.
