DAPAGLIFLOZIN(10MG) + SITAGLIPTIN(100MG) + METFORMIN(1000MG)

This medicine is prescribed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It is used when blood sugar levels are not adequately controlled with diet and exercise alone, or when previous treatment with one or two diabetes medicines has not been sufficient. It helps improve blood sugar control as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes proper diet and regular physical activity.

This medicine works through three different mechanisms. Metformin reduces sugar production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Sitagliptin increases insulin release when blood sugar is high and reduces sugar production. Dapagliflozin works by helping the kidneys remove excess sugar from the body through urine. Together, these three components provide comprehensive blood sugar control by targeting multiple pathways involved in glucose regulation, resulting in better diabetes management.

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, loss of appetite, metallic taste in the mouth, urinary tract infections, increased urination, yeast infections (especially genital), dizziness, and headache. Some patients may experience low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when used with other diabetes medicines. Most side effects are mild and temporary, improving as your body adjusts. However, contact your doctor if you experience severe stomach pain, unusual tiredness, difficulty breathing, or signs of serious infection.

Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken once daily with food to reduce stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or break it. Take it at the same time each day for best results. Maintain adequate fluid intake throughout the day. Do not change the dose or stop taking the medicine without consulting your doctor. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's specific instructions regarding timing and dosage.

Avoid alcohol consumption as it can increase the risk of lactic acidosis and low blood sugar. Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, as dose adjustment may be needed. This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding; consult your doctor for safer alternatives. Stay well-hydrated to reduce the risk of urinary tract infections and dehydration. Monitor for signs of low blood sugar, especially when driving or operating machinery. Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, including supplements. Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood sugar levels is important.
