Description:
Dapagliflozin 5mg + Vildagliptin 50mg is a dual-action oral antidiabetic medication indicated for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This fixed-dose combination works through complementary mechanisms:
Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that helps lower blood glucose by preventing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, promoting its excretion in urine.
Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that enhances the levels of incretin hormones, which increases insulin secretion and suppresses glucagon release.
The combination is effective in improving glycemic control, reducing HbA1c, and supporting weight loss, while maintaining a low risk of hypoglycemia when not combined with insulin or sulfonylureas. It is typically used alongside diet and exercise as part of a comprehensive diabetes treatment plan.
Tags:
- Dual mechanism of action for enhanced blood glucose control
- Reduces HbA1c, fasting and postprandial glucose levels
- Promotes weight loss and reduces blood pressure
- Low risk of hypoglycemia when used as monotherapy
- Convenient once-daily oral dosage
