Azsita D 10mg/50mg Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medications. Dapagliflozin increases urinary glucose excretion and reduces blood glucose levels. Sitagliptin reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver by raising insulin levels and decreasing the levels of glucagon (the hormone that increases blood glucose level).

Practice good hygiene to prevent genital fungal and/or urinary tract infections. Carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemia symptoms. Monitor your blood sugar regularly while taking this medicine. Drink plenty of water and stay hydrated to prevent dehydration. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience constant dizziness, joint pain, cold-like symptoms or unexplained nausea/vomiting.
