Swasdap-S (Generic Aadhaar) is a combination antidiabetic medication containing Sitagliptin Phosphate (100 mg) and Dapagliflozin (10 mg), used to manage Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults.
Product Description
This fixed-dose combination targets multiple pathways to regulate blood glucose:
- Sitagliptin (100 mg): A DPP-4 inhibitor that increases levels of incretin hormones, which stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin and reduce glucose production by the liver.
- Dapagliflozin (10 mg): An SGLT2 inhibitor that blocks the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose, allowing excess sugar to be eliminated from the body through urine.
Key Benefits
- Improved Glycemic Control: Synergistically lowers both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.
- Cardiovascular and Renal Protection: Reduces the risk of heart failure, heart attacks, and the progression of chronic kidney disease.
- Weight & Blood Pressure Management: Dapagliflozin helps with modest weight loss and can lead to a slight reduction in blood pressure.
- Reduced Complications: Effective long-term control helps prevent serious diabetes-related issues like blindness, nerve damage, and limb loss.
Directions for Use
- Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break it.
- Timing: The medication can be taken with or without food. For consistency, it is often recommended to take it around the same time each day.
- Routine: This medication is part of a treatment plan that typically includes a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Precautions
- Infection Risk: There is an increased risk of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) and genital fungal infections because sugar is passed in the urine. Maintaining good hygiene and seeking medical attention for symptoms like burning or pain during urination are advised.
- Hydration: The medication can lead to increased urination and potential dehydration; maintaining adequate fluid intake is important.
- Kidney & Liver Health: It is not typically recommended for individuals with severe kidney impairment or end-stage renal disease. Inform your doctor of any history of liver or kidney disease before use.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: This medication is generally contraindicated during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy and not advised for breastfeeding mothers.
- Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia): The risk of low blood sugar may increase when taken with other antidiabetic medications, such as insulin or sulfonylureas, or with excessive alcohol consumption.
- Pancreatitis: Caution is advised if you have a history of pancreatitis. Seek immediate medical help for severe, persistent stomach pain.
