Dapagliflozin 10/100mg Tablets

Adult dosage

This medication can be administered as 1 tablet once a day, regardless of meals, for patients receiving 100 mg of Sitagliptin and 10 mg of Dapagliflozin. The tablet should be swallowed whole.

This medication contains Sitagliptin and Dapagliflozin. Firstly, the Sitagliptin component can rarely cause serious allergic reactions, so if you experience symptoms such as skin rash, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face or neck, you should stop using it immediately and consult a doctor. Additionally, pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas, may occur, so if you experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, vomiting, or loss of appetite, you should immediately inform your healthcare provider. This medication is not prescribed for patients with type 1 diabetes or those on hemodialysis. Dapagliflozin can cause a decrease in fluid volume and renal function, so patients with low blood pressure or poor kidney function must assess their fluid status and renal function before use, and during treatment, symptoms of hypotension and kidney function should be monitored continuously. Furthermore, this medication may increase the risk of genital infections and urinary tract infections, so appropriate treatment should be sought if symptoms of infection appear. Diabetic ketoacidosis, a serious metabolic disturbance, can rarely occur, so if you have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or difficulty breathing, you should visit a hospital immediately. Elderly patients or those with liver dysfunction should be cautious with this medication, and if renal function is impaired, dose adjustments may be necessary. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid the use of this medication, and if pregnancy is confirmed, use should be discontinued immediately. Finally, this medication may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when used with other blood-glucose-lowering agents like insulin or sulfonylureas, so dosage adjustments of these medications may be necessary. Lastly, during the use of this medication, adequate hydration should be maintained to prevent dehydration, and caution should be exercised for symptoms of hypoglycemia while driving or operating machinery.
