Dapanorm-M 10 Tablet is taken orally.

Dapanorm-M 10 Tablet comprises two active ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This ingredient is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It operates in the proximal renal tubules in your kidneys, selectively blocking SGLT2. By doing this, it prevents glucose from being reabsorbed from the tubular lumen back into your body and lowers the renal threshold for glucose, therefore increasing urinary glucose excretion.

• Metformin (500 mg): As part of this combination tablet, metformin works by reducing hepatic glucose production and decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose. It enhances insulin sensitivity which leads to increased peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation. The extended-release formulation of metformin allows it to be administered once per day and helps to minimise gastrointestinal side effects.
