Istavel 50mg medicine is prescribed for the treatment and management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works best when followed with the right diet and regular exercise. Controlling blood sugar levels helps prevent serious complications such as kidney damage and vision loss due to uncontrolled diabetes. 

Type 2 diabetes is referred to as a long-term condition in which the body either doesn't produce sufficient insulin or is unable to use it effectively, leading to increased sugar levels. Istavel 50 mg contains Sitagliptin as the main active component that helps manage insulin release to reduce sugar levels in the liver. This medicine reduced diabetes-related problems by improving overall blood sugar control in the body.

Sitagliptin comes in different brands, including Januvia. The working efficacy and efficiency of Januvia and Istavel 50 mg are similar in controlling blood sugar when taken per regimen; however, the packaging and pricing may differ from each other.

Things to remember while taking Sitagliptin 50mg

 

You should not take Istavel 100 mg if you are hypersensitive to Sitagliptin or its ingredients. Pancreatitis or inflammation of the pancreas has been reported in patients receiving Istavel.

 

Before taking Sitagliptin, inform your doctor if you have ever had:

 

     ‒    Pancreatitis- a disease of the pancreas

     ‒    Type 1 diabetes

     ‒    Any past or present kidney problems

     ‒    An allergic reaction to Sitagliptin

     ‒    Diabetic ketoacidosis- a complication associated with diabetes, often accompanied by high blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, and rapid weight loss

     ‒    Gallstones, alcohol dependence, or excessively high levels of triglycerides in your bloodstream.

 

Istavel is less likely to cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) because it does not work when your blood sugar is too low. However, hypoglycemia episodes may occur when this drug is combined with insulin or sulfonylurea medicine. Your doctor may prescribe a reduced dose of insulin or sulfonylurea.   

 

Tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicine. In particular, let your doctor know if you are taking digoxin, which is used to treat irregular heartbeat and other heart diseases. The level of digoxin in your bloodstream may need to be checked if taken with Sitagliptin tablets.

 

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor for advice before taking this antidiabetic agent. You should avoid taking this medicine during pregnancy as it is unknown if it passes into breast milk. You should not take Sitagliptin if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.

Side effects with Sitagliptin 50mg

 

The most common side effect of Istavel 100 mg is a headache. This is usually temporary and improves with time. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) is a possible side effect if you take other medicines like sulfonylurea or insulin. It is important to recognize the symptoms of Hypoglycaemia and know how to deal with it. Contact your doctor if the side effects worry you or if they do not resolve within a few days.

Usage instructions of Sitagliptin 50mg

 

The dosage of Istavel should be individualized based on the patient's current regimen, effectiveness, and tolerability while not exceeding the recommended dose of 100 mg. Initial combination therapy, maintenance therapy, or combination therapy should be individualised. Istavel should generally be taken twice a day with meals. The starting dose should be based on the patient's current condition. Your doctor will recommend the best dose to control your blood sugar.

 

If you have kidney disorders, your doctor may prescribe lower doses. You can take this medicine before or after consuming food. Your doctor may prescribe this medicine alone or with other medications that help lower blood sugar. Diet and exercise can help your body use its blood glucose better. It is important to stay on the diet and exercise regimen recommended by your doctor while taking Sitagliptin tablets.

 

Contact your doctor immediately if you take more tablets than the prescribed dosage. Continue to take medicine as long as your doctor prescribes it so you can help manage your sugar level. You should not discontinue the medicine without speaking to your doctor. Ask your doctor if you have further questions about this medicine's use.
