Side effects
Like all medicines, Sitatuf DM 500 can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects may include:
- Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia): This is more likely if Sitatuf DM 500 is taken with insulin or other medications that can lower blood sugar. Symptoms include sweating, dizziness, shakiness, and hunger.
- Frequent urination: Dapagliflozin, one of the components, causes the kidneys to remove more sugar from your body, leading to increased urination.
- Nausea or diarrhea: These gastrointestinal issues can occur, especially when first starting the medication.
- Headache
- Genital yeast infections or urinary tract infections: These are more common due to the increased sugar in the urine.
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience any other severe or concerning symptoms, please contact your doctor immediately. This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Always discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.
