Istamet-D Ir 5/50/500 Tablet contains three active ingredients that work together to control blood glucose levels:

• Dapagliflozin (5 mg): Works by blocking glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, causing excess sugar to be eliminated through urine, which helps lower blood glucose levels.

• Sitagliptin (50 mg): Enhances the body's natural incretin system, which increases insulin secretion when blood glucose rises, particularly after meals, while simultaneously decreasing glucose production by the liver.

• Metformin (500 mg): Reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity in body tissues, allowing your cells to utilise glucose more efficiently for energy.

• Store Istamet-D Ir 5/50/500 Tablet in its original container at room temperature (below 25°C).

• Store in a safe place out of children's reach.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Avoid storing in bathrooms or other humid environments.

• Follow a low-carbohydrate diet focusing on vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains to help maintain stable blood glucose (sugar) levels throughout the day.

• Include regular physical activity in your routine—aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days to improve insulin sensitivity (how well your body responds to insulin).
