Istavel D 10/50 Tablet 15 combines two active ingredients that work together to help manage blood sugar levels:

• Sitagliptin (50 mg): As a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, sitagliptin helps increase insulin levels when needed and decrease the production of glucose when it's high.
• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This component acts as an inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2). By reducing kidnay glucose reabsorption and lowering the renal threshold for glucose, dapagliflozin helps manage blood sugar levels effectively.
