Glucreta M 10+1000 Tablet is taken orally.

Glucreta M 10+1000 Tablet contains two main active ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This is an SGLT2 (sodium-glucose co-transporter 2) inhibitor. That means it stops a protein called SGLT2 from working in your kidneys. This protein usually helps your body reabsorb glucose from urine back into your bloodstream. But if you have too much glucose in your blood—which is the case with diabetes—it's better to get rid of some. So, by inhibiting SGLT2, dapagliflozin helps you excrete excess glucose through urine, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.

• Metformin (1000 mg): It belongs to the biguanide class of antidiabetic drugs. It lowers blood sugar in three ways: First, it reduces glucose production in your liver; second, it decreases glucose absorption from your intestines; and third, it improves insulin sensitivity in your body. Insulin is the hormone that helps your cells take in glucose from your blood. So, by making your body more responsive to insulin, metformin helps reduce the amount of glucose in your blood.

• Regular physical exercise is also beneficial. Try to include at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, like brisk walking or cycling, into your daily routine. This can enhance your body's sensitivity to insulin and aid in better blood glucose control.
