Can I take Alogliptin and Fibre supplements together?

Why this happens

Fibre supplements (like psyllium husk or methylcellulose) can trap medicines in the digestive tract or slow down how quickly they are absorbed into the bloodstream.

What you should do

To ensure your medicine works correctly, try to take alogliptin at least 1 hour before or 2 to 4 hours after taking a fibre supplement. You should also monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and speak to your doctor if you notice they are consistently higher than usual.
