About Sulisent 100 mg Tablet

Sulisent 100 mg Tablet is used to treat type 2 diabetes in people whose sugar levels are too high and cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone. Type 2 diabetes is a condition that occurs when there is either less insulin or the available insulin is not properly utilized by the body cells for lowering raised blood glucose. It is the most common type of diabetes, accounting for around 90% of diabetes cases found commonly in middle-aged people. So it is also called adult-onset diabetes or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).

Sulisent 100 mg Tablet contains Canagliflozin, a sodium-glucose cotransporters-2 (SGLT-2) (a protein present in the kidney) inhibitor that works by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose in the body, resulting in an increase in glucose excretion through urine. The removal of excessive glucose helps to lower the blood sugar level. Additionally, it also lowers high blood pressure due to increased diuretic effect (water loss) and reduced body weight due to a reduction in glucose availability.

In some cases, you may experience urinary tract infections, changes in urination (urinating more frequently or in larger amounts, urgent need to urinate, need to urinate at night), constipation, feeling thirsty, nausea, dizziness, and nausea. Most of these side effects of Sulisent 100 mg Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
