Istavel 25mg can be useful as a monotherapy or in combination with other anti-diabetic medicines to control blood sugar (glucose) in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus. You will need to take it in addition to your existing anti-diabetic medication under medical supervision. Istavel, along with your other diabetes medicine, can help better manage your blood glucose levels. To avoid long-term complications, it is essential to maintain normal sugar levels.
Sitagliptin, the main ingredient of the medicine, is a DPP-4 inhibitor that acts by increasing the level of a substance in the body that helps lower blood sugar levels. The oral agent approved by the FDA for use in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes whose blood glucose level cannot be controlled effectively with certain medications. Taking this anti-diabetic agent regularly along with a healthy lifestyle (eating a balanced diet and regular physical activity) can lower the risk of getting serious, life-threatening complications such as nerve damage, eye problems, stroke, kidney problems, and heart disease.
