Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Medicine Kazano 500 contains alogliptin and metformin and is given to control blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes.

2. Like any medicine this has a list of potential side effects. However not every patient has side effects and your doctor has given it to you keeping in mind the benefit of taking the medicine. Please have your meals on time when you are taking this medicine and take vitamin B12 supplement

3.. If you have symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dark urine after starting this medicine then it should be discussed with your doctor.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
