About this product

Overview

Itaglip 50mg Tablet contains Sitagliptin as its active ingredient. Sitagliptin is an oral antidiabetic medication belonging to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. It is used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus to help control blood sugar levels.

Ingredient

  • Sitagliptin: Sitagliptin works by inhibiting the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), thereby increasing the levels of incretin hormones such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). This leads to increased insulin secretion and decreased glucagon secretion, resulting in improved glycemic control.

Uses

Itaglip 50mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion and reducing glucagon secretion, particularly after meals. It is usually prescribed in combination with diet and exercise.

Side Effects

  1. Hypoglycemia: Taking Itaglip 50mg Tablet may increase the risk of hypoglycemia, particularly when used in combination with other antidiabetic medications.
  2. Upper Respiratory Tract Infection: Common side effects may include upper respiratory tract infections such as cold or flu-like symptoms.
  3. Headache: Some individuals may experience headaches while taking Itaglip 50mg Tablet.
  4. Stomach Upset: Gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort may occur in some patients.

Precautions

  1. Renal Impairment: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment, as dosage adjustments may be necessary based on the patient’s renal function.
  2. Pancreatitis: Patients should be monitored for signs and symptoms of pancreatitis, including persistent severe abdominal pain, as Sitagliptin has been associated with an increased risk of pancreatitis.
  3. Hypersensitivity Reactions: Discontinue Itaglip 50mg Tablet and seek medical attention if signs of hypersensitivity reactions, such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing, occur.
  4. Hepatic Impairment: Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment, as Sitagliptin is primarily excreted by the kidneys, and data on its use in patients with severe hepatic impairment are limited.

When Not to Use

Itaglip 50mg Tablet is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Sitagliptin or any component of the tablet. It should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis.
