CompositionIstamet D-XR 1000 Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults, providing intensive blood sugar control. It is particularly helpful for people who also have a high risk of heart-related complications. Keeping blood sugar steady helps lower the risk of long-term problems affecting the nerves, eyes, and kidneys.
It contains sitagliptin, dapagliflozin, and metformin in an extended-release (XR) form. Sitagliptin helps the body release more insulin, dapagliflozin helps the kidneys remove excess glucose in the urine, and metformin reduces the glucose made by the liver. The XR form gives a steady release for once-daily dosing. Take it with a meal, and continue taking it regularly even when you feel well.
Diet and lifestyle play an important part in managing diabetes alongside this medicine. These include eating regular balanced meals, limiting sugary foods and drinks, staying physically active, and drinking enough fluids to stay well hydrated.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any kidney problems, frequent urinary or genital infections, a history of pancreatitis, or other medicines you take. Tell your doctor about signs of a urinary tract infection or sudden, unexplained weight loss or sickness.
