Description:
Sitaxa M 50mg/500mg Tablet is a combination medication used to help control high blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. By maintaining better glucose control, it reduces the risk of serious diabetes-related complications, including kidney damage, vision loss, and cardiovascular issues such as heart attacks and strokes.
This tablet may be prescribed on its own or alongside other antidiabetic medicines. For best results, it should be used in conjunction with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. The dosage depends on your individual health condition, blood sugar levels, and any other medications you may be taking. Taking Sitaxa M with meals is advised, as this can minimize gastrointestinal discomfort.
To gain the full benefit, it’s important to take the medication regularly at the same time every day. Do not discontinue it without consulting your doctor. Adhering to your recommended diet and exercise routine is equally vital for effective diabetes management.
Common side effects include diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections, and headaches. There is also a risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially if you’re taking additional antidiabetic medications like insulin or sulfonylureas. Be aware of the signs of low blood sugar and know how to respond appropriately.
This medicine may not be suitable for everyone. Inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney, liver, or heart disease, any pancreatic problems, or if you consume alcohol frequently. It’s also important to consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications, as interactions may occur. During treatment, your doctor will monitor your kidney function and blood glucose levels to ensure the medicine is working safely and effectively.
