What is UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET used for?

UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET is primarily used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It helps control high blood sugar levels, especially when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient, or when metformin alone does not adequately control blood sugar. This medication can be used alone or in conjunction with other diabetes medications. It also helps reduce the risk of long-term diabetes complications such as kidney damage, nerve damage, eyesight loss, and cardiovascular events like heart attack and heart failure.

How does UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET work?

UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET contains two active ingredients: Dapagliflozin (10 mg) and Sitagliptin (100 mg).

• Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It works by blocking a protein in the kidneys responsible for reabsorbing glucose back into the blood. This leads to the removal of excess sugar from the body through urine, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
• Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It increases the levels of natural substances called incretin hormones in the body. These hormones stimulate the pancreas to produce more insulin, especially after meals, and reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver. Together, these two components work through different mechanisms to effectively lower and control blood glucose levels.

What is the usual dosage of UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET?

UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET is typically administered orally once daily, with or without food. It is important to take it consistently at the same time each day to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on your condition, kidney function, and other medications you may be taking. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

What are the possible side effects of UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET?

Common side effects of UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET may include:

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Genital yeast infections (in both males and females)
• Nasal congestion, sore throat, or upper respiratory tract infections
• Headache, dizziness
• Increased urination or thirst (due to increased fluid loss)
• Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or constipation
• Joint pain

If you experience persistent or severe side effects, or symptoms like severe abdominal pain (indicating pancreatitis), serious allergic reactions (rash, swelling of face/tongue/lips), or signs of dehydration, consult your doctor immediately.

Is UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET is generally not recommended during pregnancy due to limited information on its effects and the fact that one of its active ingredients, dapagliflozin, is contraindicated in the second and third trimesters. For breastfeeding women, information on whether this medicine passes into human breast milk is unavailable, and it is not advised for use due to potential adverse effects on breastfed infants. Always consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Can UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET be taken with other medications?

UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET can interact with certain other medications. It is crucial to inform your doctor about all medicines, supplements, or herbal products you are currently taking or plan to take to avoid potential drug interactions. Particular care should be taken if you are using:

• Diuretics (water pills like furosemide, hydrochlorothiazide): May increase the risk of dehydration and low blood pressure.
• Insulin or insulin secretagogues (e.g., glipizide, glyburide): May increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), and dose adjustments may be needed.
• Other anti-diabetic medications (e.g., metformin, sulfonylureas).
• Certain antibiotics (e.g., clarithromycin, gatifloxacin, ciprofloxacin) or antifungal medications (e.g., ketoconazole).
• Cardiac glycosides (e.g., digoxin).

What precautions should be taken while using UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET?

• Kidney and Liver Issues: Inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems, as dosage adjustments or closer monitoring may be required. This medicine is contraindicated in severe kidney impairment or end-stage renal disease.
• Dehydration: Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, especially due to increased urination caused by dapagliflozin.
• Alcohol Consumption: Limit alcohol intake as it can interfere with the medicine's effectiveness and affect blood sugar levels.
• Hygiene: Maintain good personal hygiene to help prevent genital fungal and urinary tract infections.
• Hypoglycemia: Be aware of symptoms of low blood sugar (cold sweats, dizziness, tremors, anxiety), especially if taking other anti-diabetic medicines or if you miss a meal. Carry sugary food or fruit juice.
• Surgery: Inform your doctor if you are scheduled for surgery.
• Do not stop abruptly: Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor, even if your blood sugar levels are controlled, as abrupt discontinuation can lead to a rebound increase in blood sugar.

What happens if a dose of UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET is missed?

If you miss a dose of UDAPA S 10/100 MG TABLET, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to compensate for the missed one.
