Product introduction
Zita DM 10mg/20mg/1000mg Tablet SR is a combination medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. This medicine is used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

The most common side effects of this medicine include vaginal yeast infection, nasopharyngitis, urinary tract infection, diarrhea, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Drinking plenty of fluids while using it will help prevent dehydration. Maintaining good hygiene can help prevent fungal infections in the genital area.
Before taking Zita DM 10mg/20mg/1000mg Tablet SR, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver problems, a urinary tract infection, or you are on water pills (diuretics). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking this medicine.

How Zita DM Tablet SR works
Each of the active components of Zita DM 10mg/20mg/1000mg Tablet SR works in different ways to help control blood sugar levels. Dapagliflozin lowers blood sugar by causing the kidneys to get rid of more glucose in the urine. Teneligliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor which works by increasing the release of insulin from pancreas and decreasing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. Metformin is an antidiabetic medication (biguanide). It works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.
