Exigluese Tablet

Adult dosage

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

This medication contains sitagliptin and dapagliflozin as its components and is used for the treatment of diabetes. The sitagliptin component can rarely cause serious allergic reactions, so if symptoms such as rash or difficulty breathing occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor. Additionally, acute pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas, can occur, so careful observation is required if symptoms such as upper abdominal pain or vomiting occur. The dapagliflozin component can lead to reduced body fluids and lower blood pressure, so it is important to report immediate symptoms of dehydration or dizziness, particularly for patients with poor kidney function or elderly patients. This medication is not recommended for use in patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or those undergoing dialysis. During treatment, it is necessary to pay attention to symptoms of hypoglycemia, and when using alongside other hypoglycemic agents such as insulin or sulfonylureas, adjustments in dosage may be necessary due to increased risk of hypoglycemia. There is a possibility of genital infections and urinary tract infections, so maintaining cleanliness is essential, and if symptoms of infection occur, medical personnel must be notified immediately. It is advisable for pregnant or breastfeeding women not to use this medication, and its safety has not been confirmed for children under 18 years of age. In case of overdose, there are no specific antidotes, so appropriate treatment should be undertaken based on the symptoms, and dosage adjustments may be necessary for patients with severely impaired kidney function. While taking this medication, caution is needed when driving or operating machinery due to the risk of hypoglycemia. Finally, this medication should be stored out of reach of children and kept in its original container to maintain quality.
