This drug contains two ingredients, dapagliflozin and sitagliptin, and is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. First, the sitagliptin component may cause allergic reactions, so if symptoms such as skin rash, shortness of breath, or swelling of the face or neck occur, use should be discontinued immediately. In addition, there is a risk of acute pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas, so if abdominal pain, vomiting, or severe indigestion occurs, consult a doctor immediately. Next, this drug should not be used by patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or those undergoing dialysis. The dapagliflozin component may cause reduced body fluid or low blood pressure; thus, patients with dehydration or at risk for hypotension need to undergo thorough testing before taking this medication, and symptoms should be closely monitored during use. Particularly, patients with decreased kidney function or the elderly should exercise additional caution. While taking this drug, the risk of infection may increase, particularly urinary tract or genital infections, hence attention to cleanliness is essential, and immediate treatment is necessary if infection symptoms occur. Hypoglycemia may occur, so when taking it along with insulin or other hypoglycemic agents, blood glucose levels should be checked frequently, and appropriate measures should be taken if hypoglycemic symptoms arise. Pregnant or breastfeeding women are advised to avoid using this medication, and if planning to become pregnant or confirmation of pregnancy occurs, it is necessary to consult a doctor. Elderly patients should regularly test their kidney function to monitor for potential declines. In case of overdose, there are no specific antidotes, so appropriate treatment should be received based on the symptoms, and monitoring at a hospital may be required if necessary. Finally, safety and efficacy in children have not been established, so it should not be taken by anyone under 18 years of age, and when stored, it should be kept out of reach of children.
