Sulisent 100mg Tablet contains canagliflozin, an active substance belonging to SGLT2 inhibitors, a class of blood-glucose-lowering drugs. It helps remove excess sugar through urine and is indicated for adults with type 2 diabetes. This medicine manages blood sugar when diet and exercise alone are insufficient and may support weight management and cardiovascular health over time. It can be prescribed as monotherapy or in combination with other diabetes treatments.

Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not use insulin effectively or produce sufficient quantities, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels. Prolonged uncontrolled diabetes can lead to heart disease, kidney damage, blindness, and nerve complications. Many patients with type 2 diabetes consider Sulisent 100mg as part of a comprehensive diabetes management strategy to reduce these risks.

As with all medications, Sulisent 100mg may cause side effects. These include increased urination, thirst, dehydration, and mild genital infections.
