Istavel 50mg Tablet is an antidiabetic medicine used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps regulate blood sugar levels when used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise. By keeping your blood sugar in control, this medicine can help prevent serious complications associated with diabetes, such as kidney damage, vision loss, and nerve problems.
It is usually prescribed when lifestyle changes and other medicines are not enough to manage blood glucose levels. Your doctor may advise taking it alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medications. Istavel 50mg Tablet can be taken with or without food, and it is important to take it at the same time every day to maintain steady levels in your body.
Do not stop taking the medicine unless directed by your doctor, even if you feel well, as doing so may worsen your condition. Staying consistent with your diet and exercise plan is essential for the medicine to work effectively.
Common side effects of Istavel 50mg Tablet include headache and upper respiratory tract infections like sore throat, cough, or cold. If taken along with insulin or sulfonylureas, there is a risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), so you should be aware of the symptoms and know how to manage them. Carrying a small sugary snack can be helpful.
Before starting the medication, inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney, heart, or pancreatic problems, or if you consume alcohol frequently. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should only take this medicine after consulting their doctor. Also, let your healthcare provider know about any other medications you’re taking to avoid potential interactions. Routine monitoring of your kidney function and blood glucose levels is recommended during treatment.
