• Dapagliflozin (5 mg): Dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys and lowers the kidney threshold for glucose. This results in increased glucose excretion through urine, effectively reducing blood sugar levels.
• Metformin (1000 mg): Metformin works by decreasing glucose production in the liver and reducing glucose absorption in the intestines. Additionally, it enhances insulin sensitivity, promoting better glucose uptake and utilisation in peripheral tissues, ultimately lowering blood sugar levels.
