Fosibia Tablet 10/100 Milligrams

Adult dosage

This medication can be administered to patients receiving 100 mg of sitagliptin and 10 mg of dapagliflozin, 1 tablet once daily regardless of meals. The tablet should be swallowed whole.

This medication contains the ingredients sitagliptin and dapagliflozin, which are used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Sitagliptin may rarely cause serious allergic reactions or skin disorders; therefore, if you experience symptoms such as rash, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face or neck after taking the medication, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor. Additionally, serious side effects such as acute pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas, have been reported; hence, if you experience abdominal pain, vomiting, or severe indigestion while taking this medication, you should go to the hospital immediately. Dapagliflozin may lead to reduced body fluids, resulting in lower blood pressure, so elderly patients or those with weakened kidney function should exercise particular caution and undergo regular blood pressure and kidney function tests. Furthermore, dapagliflozin can increase the risk of genital infections and urinary tract infections, so if you experience symptoms such as pain or itching during urination or an increase in discharge, immediate treatment is advised. This medication is not meant for patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or those undergoing dialysis. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid taking this medication, especially during breastfeeding, as it may affect the baby. While taking this medication, there is a risk of hypoglycemia; therefore, if insulin or sulfonylureas are taken concomitantly, blood sugar levels should be monitored frequently, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. If you notice unusual skin symptoms, severe joint pain, or skin disorders with blisters, notify your doctor immediately and seek treatment. For patients with reduced kidney function, dosage adjustments are necessary; thus, regular kidney function tests should be conducted, with particular attention for elderly patients. In case of overdose, there are no specific antidotes, so appropriate treatment based on symptoms should be provided, and blood dialysis may be considered if necessary. Lastly, the safety and efficacy of this medication in children have not been established; therefore, it should not be used in patients under the age of 18. Caution is advised when driving or operating machinery during the use of this medication, as hypoglycemic symptoms may occur; therefore, always exercise caution.
