Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhoea
Loss of appetite
Headache
Sore throat
Stuffy or runny nose
Genital fungal infections: These are yeast infections that can affect the genital area, causing itching, redness, and unusual discharge.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Nausea and vomiting: Taking Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10 with meals can help reduce these stomach-related side effects.
Loss of appetite: Try taking this medicine during or immediately after a meal to minimise this effect.

Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients that work together to control blood glucose levels:

Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This component inhibits the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) in your kidneys. By blocking SGLT2, dapagliflozin prevents the reabsorption of glucose and promotes its excretion through urine, effectively lowering blood glucose levels.
Metformin (500 mg): As a biguanide, metformin works by decreasing glucose production in your liver. It also reduces intestinal absorption of glucose and improves insulin sensitivity in your body, helping your cells respond better to insulin and take up glucose more effectively.

Pregnancy

Be careful while taking Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10 if you are pregnant. Talk with your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Exercise caution while taking Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10 if you are breastfeeding. It is ideal to discuss with your doctor before taking this medicine.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol while taking Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10. Drinking alcohol with this medicine may increase your risk of developing lactic acidosis, a serious condition that affects your blood.

Liver

Caution is advised while taking Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10 if you have any liver problems. This medicine may affect your liver function, so tell your doctor about any existing liver conditions before starting treatment.

Kidney

Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10 is not recommended if you have severe kidney problems. Your doctor may need to check your kidney function before and during treatment, as this medicine is removed from your body through your kidneys.

Using Machines & Driving

You may drive and use machines while taking Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10. However, if you feel dizzy or experience low blood sugar, avoid these activities until you feel better.

Allergy

Tell your doctor about any allergies you have before taking Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10. If you notice swelling, rash, itching, or breathing problems after taking this medicine, seek medical help immediately.

Children

Older Patients

Older patients should take Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10 under medical supervision, as they may be more sensitive to dehydration. Your doctor may monitor you more closely, especially if you have kidney problems or take other medicines.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Diuretics: Water pills like furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide can increase the risk of dehydration when taken with Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10.
Antidiabetic medicines: Medicines such as glimepiride and gliclazide may enhance blood glucose-lowering effects when combined with Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10, potentially causing low blood sugar.
Corticosteroids: Medicines like prednisolone and dexamethasone may decrease the effectiveness of Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10 by raising blood glucose levels.
Calcium channel blockers: Medicines such as amlodipine and nifedipine may have altered effectiveness when taken alongside Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10.

Diabetic ketoacidosis: Dapacure M 10/500 Tablet 10 is not suitable for managing this condition and may worsen the situation.
Heart failure: This medicine should be used carefully in patients with heart problems, as dapagliflozin may affect fluid balance.

Daily Dose
