Drug Interactions
Dapaglu Tablet 10mg can interact with several other medicines. Sharing a complete medicine list with your doctor helps prevent unwanted interactions.
- Insulin and Sulfonylureas: The combined use raises the risk of low blood sugar, so dose adjustments are often needed.
- Diuretics: Water pills can add to the fluid loss caused by this medicine, increasing dehydration risk.
- Lithium: Blood lithium levels may change and require closer monitoring during treatment.
- Rifampin: Rifampin may speed up the breakdown of this medicine, reducing its effectiveness in controlling blood sugar.
Risks and warnings
- Ketoacidosis Risk: Diabetic ketoacidosis is a rare but serious risk, even with normal blood sugar readings. Nausea, vomiting, and breathing trouble need urgent medical attention.
- Dehydration and Low Blood Pressure: This medicine increases urination, which can lower blood pressure and cause dizziness. Older adults and those on diuretics face higher risk.
- Genital Infections: Increased sugar in urine raises the chance of yeast and bacterial infections. Good hygiene and prompt treatment reduce complications.
- Kidney Function Monitoring: Kidney function should be checked before starting and periodically during treatment. Dose adjustment or discontinuation may be needed if function declines sharply.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Safer alternatives should be discussed with your doctor if a pregnancy is planned.
