CompositionDAPAGLYN 10 TABLET 10 is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus by helping the body lower blood sugar through the urine. Maintaining stable glucose levels is critical for preventing serious complications like kidney failure, nerve pain, and vision loss. Additionally, this medication provides significant protection for the heart, making it an essential treatment for diabetic patients with heart failure or chronic kidney disease.
This medication contains Dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 (sodium-glucose co-transporter 2) inhibitor. It works by preventing the kidneys from reabsorbing sugar back into the bloodstream. Instead, the excess sugar is flushed out of the body when you urinate. This process not only lowers blood sugar but can also lead to modest weight loss and a reduction in blood pressure, providing multiple benefits for cardiovascular health.
This tablet should be taken once daily, with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor. It is important to stay well-hydrated while taking this medication and to maintain good personal hygiene to prevent urinary tract infections. Consult your healthcare provider if you experience symptoms like persistent nausea, abdominal pain, or a sudden change in your urine output.
