Uses and Side Effects of Itromed SB 130 Tablet

Itromed SB 130 tablet is commonly prescribed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains two active ingredients, Sitagliptin and Metformin, which work together to control blood sugar levels. Sitagliptin helps increase insulin release from the pancreas when blood sugar is high, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin. This combination helps in maintaining better blood sugar control and reduces complications related to diabetes.

Common uses include treatment of high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, often alongside diet and exercise. It helps prevent complications like nerve damage, kidney problems, and vision loss caused by prolonged high blood sugar levels.

Possible side effects of Itromed SB 130 include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach upset, and loss of appetite. Some patients may experience mild headaches or dizziness. A rare but serious side effect is lactic acidosis, a condition caused by buildup of lactic acid, which requires immediate medical attention. Symptoms of lactic acidosis include muscle pain, difficulty breathing, and unusual tiredness.

Before using Itromed SB 130, inform your doctor about any kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Regular monitoring of blood sugar and kidney function is important while on this medication.
