3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SGLT2 inhibitor and the third antidiabetic agent are present in a single dosage form and the DPPIV inhibitor is present in a separate dosage form.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the DPPIV inhibitor and the third antidiabetic agent are present in a single dosage form and the SGLT2 inhibitor is present in a separate dosage form.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SGLT2 inhibitor, the DPP IV inhibitor and the third antidiabetic agent are present each in a separate dosage form.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dosage of the SGLT2 inhibitor is 10 mg or 25 mg per day.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dosage of the DPPIV inhibitor is 5 mg per day.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the dosage of the third antidiabetic agent is 500 mg, 750 mg, 850 mg or 1000 mg per day.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the SGLT2 inhibitor is administered to the patient once daily.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the DPP IV inhibitor is administered to the patient once daily.
11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the third antidiabetic agent is administered to the patient once or twice daily.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the method is for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus.
13. A method for improving glycemic control and/or for reducing of fasting plasma glucose, of postprandial plasma glucose and/or of glycosylated hemoglobin HbA1c in a patient in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the patient an SGLT2 inhibitor, a DPP IV inhibitor and a third antidiabetic agent in combination or alternation to the patient,
wherein
the SGLT2 inhibitor is 1-chloro-4-(β-D-glucopyranos-1-yl)-2-[4-((S)-tetrahydrofuran-3-yloxy)-benzyl]-benzene,
the DPPIV inhibitor is linagliptin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and
the third antidiabetic agent is metformin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof,
wherein
the SGLT2 inhibitor is administered to the patient in a dosage of 1 mg to 50 mg per day
the DPPIV inhibitor is administered to the patient in a dosage of 1 mg to 5 mg per day, and
the third antidiabetic agent administered to the patient in a dosage of 500 mg to 2000 mg per day.
14. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the SGLT2 inhibitor and the DPP IV inhibitor are present in a single dosage form and the third antidiabetic agent is present in a separate dosage form.
15. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the SGLT2 inhibitor and the third antidiabetic agent are present in a single dosage form and the DPPIV inhibitor is present in a separate dosage form.
16. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the DPPIV inhibitor and the third antidiabetic agent are present in a single dosage form and the SGLT2 inhibitor is present in a separate dosage form.
17. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the SGLT2 inhibitor, the DPP IV inhibitor and the third antidiabetic agent are present each in a separate dosage form.
18. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the dosage of the SGLT2 inhibitor is 10 mg or 25 mg per day.
19. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the dosage of the DPPIV inhibitor is 5 mg per day.
20. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the dosage of the third antidiabetic agent is 500 mg, 750 mg, 850 mg or 1000 mg per day.
