Description:
Dapagliflozin 10 mg + Metformin 500 mg ER is a fixed-dose combination oral medication used in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It combines two antidiabetic agents with complementary mechanisms:
Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that lowers blood glucose by promoting its excretion in urine via the kidneys.
Metformin (Extended Release) improves insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic glucose production, offering sustained blood sugar control over time.
This combination not only aids in achieving target glycemic levels but also provides additional benefits like weight reduction, blood pressure control, and cardio-renal protection. It is often prescribed when monotherapy is insufficient for optimal blood sugar control.
Tags:
- Dual mechanism offers improved glycemic control
- Helps reduce HbA1c levels effectively
- Aids in weight management
- May lower blood pressure
- Reduces risk of cardiovascular and kidney complications in diabetics
