Daplo Mf 10 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This ingredient functions as a selective sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It reduces blood sugar levels by blocking the reabsorption of glucose via the SGLT2 protein in your kidneys, leading to the excretion of excess glucose through urine.

• Metformin (1000 mg): As a part of your body's process to control blood sugar, metformin works by decreasing the production of glucose in your liver and reducing the intestinal absorption of glucose. Additionally, it enhances insulin sensitivity, facilitating an increase in peripheral glucose uptake and its utilisation.

Together, dapagliflozin and metformin work in tandem using different mechanisms to effectively reduce blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

• As part of managing your type 2 diabetes, aim for a balanced diet with a focus on low glycaemic index (GI) foods that help control your blood sugar levels. These include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins.

• Regular exercise such as walking, cycling, or swimming can help increase insulin sensitivity and improve blood sugar control. Try to incorporate at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity into your daily routine. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
