Ensure you use Dapaone-M 10/500 Tablet correctly by following these steps:

• Swallow the tablet as a whole with water. Do not chew, crush or break it.

Dapaone-M 10/500 Tablet is taken orally.

Dapaone-M 10/500 Tablet consists of two active ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This ingredient serves as a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It functions by decreasing renal glucose reabsorption and increasing urinary glucose excretion. This action helps lower blood glucose levels by removing excess glucose from your body via the kidneys.

• Metformin (500 mg): This is a biguanide that reduces hepatic glucose production and decreases intestinal absorption of glucose. It also enhances insulin sensitivity, which improves peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation, leading to lower both basal and postprandial plasma glucose levels.

Together, dapagliflozin and metformin work to provide improved glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

• Keep your Dapaone-M 10/500 Tablet in its original packaging to safeguard it from light and moisture.

• Store at a temperature below 30°C.

• Don't place it in the bathroom or near a sink, as dampness can spoil the medicine.

• Make sure it's out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date before use and don't use any medicine past its expiry date.

• Stick to a balanced diet low in sugars and refined carbs, as Dapaone-M 10/500 Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes. High sugar intake can counteract the medicine's effect.

• Regular physical activity helps control blood sugar levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming, most days of the week. Please consult your doctor for personalised advice based on your health condition.
