Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolves on discontinuing the use of Dapa Vilda 5/100sr Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Headache: If you have a headache after taking this medicine, try resting or sleeping in a dark room.
Nausea: If you feel nauseous, try taking Dapa Vilda 5/100sr Tablet 10 with or immediately after meals.

Dapa Vilda 5/100sr Tablet 10 incorporates two active ingredients:

Dapagliflozin (5 mg): This ingredient is a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor. By selectively inhibiting SGLT2, which is responsible for the reabsorption of glucose back into your blood from the kidneys, dapagliflozin reduces renal glucose reabsorption. This action leads to urinary glucose excretion and a consequent lowering of blood glucose levels.
Vildagliptin (100 mg): This component is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor. It slows down the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP that are released in response to a meal. By doing so, vildagliptin increases active incretin levels and enhances insulin secretion dependent on glucose levels. It also limits inappropriate glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Dapa Vilda 5/100sr Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.
