Hello, Aldine! How are you?

Istamet contains the active ingredients Sitagliptin and Metformin, it's an oral antidiabetic medication that's used to help lower blood sugar.

And it may cause a headache as a side effect, as well as nausea, stomach pain and hypoglycemia. However, the side effects should wear off in a few weeks, once your body gets used to the medication. But if it's very severe, or continues past 4 to 6 weeks, you should consult your doctor.

Learn more Sitagliptin details here.

Learn more Metformin details here.

The headache could also be caused by fluctuating sugar levels.

Are you checking yours regularly?
