Precautions and Warnings of Dapavel M 10/500mg Strip Of 10 Tablets
Pregnancy
Q:
Is it safe to take the Dapavel M tablet during pregnancy?
A:
Dapavel M is not recommended for use during pregnancy, particularly in the second and third trimesters due to the potential risk of harm to the baby. No sufficient data is available to suggest that any harm is caused. However, insulin can be used to maintain sugar levels as normal as possible.
Breast Feeding
Q:
Is it safe to take the Dapavel M tablet while breastfeeding?
A:
Metformin as well as dapagliflozin have been found to be excreted into breast milk. Therefore, it is not recommended in nursing mothers.
Driving
Q:
Can I drive after taking the Dapavel M tablet?
A:
Dapavel M does not affect the ability to drive. However, taking it with other medicines that can lower blood sugar levels may lead to very low blood sugar. This can cause weakness, dizziness or vision trouble, which may affect the ability to drive. It is best to avoid driving for worry of such symptoms appearing.
Alcohol
Q:
Can I consume alcohol after taking the Dapavel M tablet?
