Dapzigard-10 VDM Forte Tablet comprises three active ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This component acts as an inhibitor of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2). By reducing kidney glucose reabsorption and lowering the renal threshold for glucose, dapagliflozin helps manage blood sugar levels effectively.
• Metformin (1000 mg): As a biguanide, metformin decreases glucose production by the liver, reduces glucose absorption by the intestines, and enhances insulin sensitivity. These actions collectively help control high blood sugar levels.
• Vildagliptin (100 mg): It is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It helps the pancreas release more insulin and reduces the sugar the liver produces. This improves blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.
