Dapavel-L 10/5 Tablet

Product Overview
Dapavel-L 10/5 Tablet is a combination medicine designed to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. When taken along with a proper diet and regular exercise, it helps improve blood glucose control and lowers the risk of serious diabetes-related complications.

This medicine can be taken with or without food, but it is important to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood sugar control. The exact dose and duration will be determined by your doctor. Do not stop taking it suddenly without medical advice, as this can cause your blood sugar to rise, increasing the risk of complications such as kidney problems and vision loss. Along with medication, following a balanced diet, staying physically active, and maintaining a healthy weight are crucial for effective diabetes management.

Some common side effects may include fungal infections in the genital area, throat or nasal irritation, urinary tract infections, low blood sugar, dizziness, and fatigue. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor. Good personal hygiene can help reduce the risk of fungal infections.

Before starting this medication, let your doctor know if you have kidney or liver issues, urinary tract infections, or if you are taking water pills (diuretics). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use. Limiting alcohol consumption is recommended, as it may increase the risk of side effects. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is essential while on this treatment.
