Istavel 100mg Tablet 10s

Introduction

Istavel 100mg Tablet 10s is used for treating type II diabetes in adults. When used alone, it's recommended for adults whose blood sugar levels aren't well controlled by diet and exercise, and for those unable to take metformin due to specific health issues or intolerance.

Sitagliptin is a type of medication known as a dipeptidyl peptidase4 (DPP4) inhibitor. It functions by preventing the breakdown of incretin hormones in the body. These hormones are released after eating and help signal the pancreas to make insulin.

If you have a history of skin allergies, Type I diabetes, Diabetic Ketoacidosis, or liver problems, it's important to promptly discuss these conditions with your doctor.

Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

It is crucial to report any persistent symptoms or adverse effects promptly.

How it works

This medicine helps manage diabetes by increasing insulin release from the pancreas and reducing hormones that elevate blood sugar levels. It falls under the category of DPP-4 inhibitors. Taken once a day, it has few common side effects and typically doesn't cause weight gain. The goal is to lower blood glucose levels by increasing insulin production after meals and preventing excessive glucose release into the blood.
