ISTAVEL D 10/100
₹321.00
Istavel D 10/100 Tablet is a prescription medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It contains a combination of two active ingredients: dapagliflozin (10 mg) and sitagliptin (100 mg).
Key Information
- Uses: It is used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise to help control high blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone, or other medications like metformin alone, are insufficient.
- Active Ingredients & How They Work:
- Dapagliflozin: An SGLT2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2) inhibitor that helps the kidneys remove excess glucose (sugar) from the bloodstream through the urine.
- Sitagliptin: A DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibitor that increases the amount of insulin the pancreas produces (when needed, such as after a meal) and decreases the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
- Benefits: By lowering blood sugar, the medication helps prevent serious long-term complications of diabetes such as kidney damage, vision loss, nerve problems, and cardiovascular events like heart attack or stroke.
Common Side Effects
Most side effects are usually minor and may resolve as your body adjusts to the medication.
- Urinary tract infection (UTI)
- Genital fungal (yeast) infections in both men and women
- Nasal congestion, sore throat, or upper respiratory tract infection
- Headache
- Diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting
Important Precautions
- Prescription Only: Istavel D 10/100 is a prescription drug and should be taken exactly as advised by a doctor.
- Do Not Stop Abruptly: Do not stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor, as it can cause blood sugar levels to rise.
- Hypoglycemia Risk: The risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is higher if taken with other diabetes medications like insulin or sulfonylureas. Your doctor may adjust the dosage of other medicines accordingly.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of fluids while taking this medicine to help prevent dehydration.
- Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol intake as it can increase the risk of certain side effects and affect blood sugar control.
- Kidney/Liver Issues: Inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems before starting treatment, as dose adjustments may be necessary.
