Istamet 50/500mg Tablet 14'S
Istamet 50/500mg Tablet 14'S Description
Istamet Tablet is a combination of metformin and sitagliptin, which are antidiabetic medicines. It is used to control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes, along with diet and exercise.
Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body does not produce enough insulin or does not use insulin properly. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body's cells use glucose for energy. When the body does not have enough insulin or does not use it properly, glucose builds up in the blood. This can lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, and kidney failure. Istamet Tablet works by helping the body produce more insulin and use insulin more effectively. It also helps to lower the amount of glucose the liver makes. Before taking Istamet Tablet, tell your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems. You should also tell your doctor if you have high blood cholesterol levels, severe infections, or if you have recently been dehydrated due to vomiting or diarrhoea. While taking Istamet Tablet, your doctor may regularly check your blood sugar levels and kidney function to avoid side effects. Your doctor may also ask you to make lifestyle changes, such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking, to improve your results. Istamet Tablet is not recommended for people with severe, uncontrolled diabetes. It is also not recommended for people with alcoholism, shock, or breathing or circulation problems. Talk to your doctor before taking Istamet Tablet if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The most common side effects of Istamet Tablet are low blood sugar levels, stomach upset, constipation, diarrhoea, a metallic taste in the mouth, sore throat, stuffy nose, and joint pain. Talk to your doctor if these side effects bother you.
