Flozipa Tablet 10 contains dapagliflozin (10 mg), which works in the following ways:

• SGLT2 Inhibition: It blocks a protein called SGLT2 in your kidneys. This protein usually helps your kidneys reabsorb glucose from your urine back into your blood.
• Reduction of Blood Sugar Levels: By inhibiting SGLT2, dapagliflozin prevents glucose reabsorption, causing it to be flushed out from the body through urine. This process effectively lowers blood sugar levels.
• Mild Diuresis and Caloric Loss: As dapagliflozin increases urinary glucose excretion, it also leads to a slight increase in urination (mild diuresis) and caloric loss, which may assist with weight management.

• Store Flozipa Tablet 10 at a temperature below 30°C.
• Place the medicine away from direct light.
• Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Maintain a balanced diet with controlled sugar intake. This helps manage blood sugar levels effectively, enhancing the work of Flozipa Tablet 10 in managing type 2 diabetes.
• Regular physical exercise, such as brisk walking or yoga, can help control blood glucose levels and contribute to cardiovascular health. This is especially beneficial since Flozipa Tablet 10 also helps reduce the risk of heart-related hospitalisations.
