Sitagliptin Phosphate 100 mg + Dapagliflozin 10 mg Tabs (Swasdap-S)- GA
₹251.10
The combination of Sitagliptin Phosphate 100 mg + Dapagliflozin 10 mg is a prescription medication used, along with diet and exercise, to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It works through two complementary mechanisms to control blood sugar levels and may offer additional cardiovascular and renal benefits.
Key Information
- Primary Use: Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of long-term complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, heart attack, and heart failure.
- Mechanism of Action:
- Sitagliptin (100 mg): A dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that increases insulin production after meals and decreases the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
- Dapagliflozin (10 mg): A sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that helps the kidneys remove excess sugar from the body through urine.
- Administration: It is typically taken orally once a day, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional. The tablet should be swallowed whole; do not crush, break, or chew it.
- Common Brand Names: The combination is available under various brand names, including Istavel D, Dapaglyn S, and Sitadapa.
Important Considerations and Side Effects
- Do Not Stop Abruptly: Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better, as this can cause blood sugar levels to rise and increase the risk of serious complications.
- Hypoglycemia Risk: The risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) is higher when used with other antidiabetic medicines (like insulin or sulfonylureas) or alcohol. Always carry a quick source of sugar (e.g., candy or fruit juice) in case symptoms occur.
- Hydration: Dapagliflozin can cause your body to lose too much fluid (dehydration) or make you urinate more often, so it is important to drink plenty of water and stay hydrated.
- Hygiene: Good personal hygiene practices are essential as dapagliflozin can cause genital fungal and/or urinary tract infections (UTIs).
- Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol consumption should be avoided or limited as it can increase the risk of serious side effects like ketoacidosis.
- Potential Side Effects:
- Genital yeast infections
- Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Headache
- Nasopharyngitis (sore throat and runny nose)
- Nausea and/or diarrhea
- Joint pain
Consult a healthcare professional if you experience any severe or persistent side effects, or if you have a history of heart, liver, or kidney disease before starting this medication.
