Dapzigard S 100 Tablet 15 is a combination medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate blood sugar control. Effective blood sugar management lowers the long-term risk of diabetes complications such as kidney damage, eye problems, nerve pain, and heart disease.
It contains dapagliflozin and sitagliptin. Take it as prescribed with or without food. Continue taking it regularly even when your blood sugar readings improve. Do not discontinue treatment without consulting your doctor, as blood sugar levels may rise.
A balanced diet and active lifestyle are essential components of diabetes care. Eat regular meals with controlled carbohydrate content, stay well hydrated, exercise regularly, and avoid sugary beverages as advised by your healthcare provider.
Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have kidney problems, low blood pressure, a history of urinary or genital infections, or pancreatitis. Stay well hydrated to prevent dehydration. Seek urgent medical advice if you experience severe stomach pain, persistent vomiting, or symptoms of low blood sugar.

How Dapzigard S 100 Tablet 15 Works?
Dapzigard S 100 Tablet 15 has two active components that work together to control blood glucose levels:
Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This SGLT2 inhibitor blocks the reabsorption of glucose in your kidneys. This leads to the excretion of excess glucose through urine, reducing the amount of sugar in your bloodstream.
Sitagliptin (100 mg): As a DPP-4 inhibitor, sitagliptin inhibits certain hormones, stimulating the pancreas to produce more insulin when blood glucose levels are high. It also decreases the production of glucagon by the pancreas, reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
