Glyfloz M 5/500 MG Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Glyfloz M 5/500 MG Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients which help in controlling blood sugar levels:

• Dapagliflozin (5 mg): This ingredient inhibits the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) protein located in your kidneys. The inhibition of this protein prevents the reabsorption of glucose back into the body, leading to the excretion of excess glucose through urine. This process helps decrease the amount of glucose in your body, thus lowering blood sugar levels.

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin helps in controlling blood sugar by decreasing the production of glucose in your liver and reducing the intestinal absorption of glucose. It also improves insulin sensitivity, which increases the uptake and use of glucose by your body's cells. Metformin doesn't cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels) or hyperinsulinemia (high insulin levels). Its extended-release formulation ensures the gradual and prolonged absorption of the medicine, leading to lower peak plasma concentrations.

• Maintain a balanced diet with a focus on whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein sources. This helps manage blood sugar levels which is crucial when taking Glyfloz M 5/500 MG Tablet 10 for type 2 diabetes.

• Frequent moderate exercise like brisk walking or cycling can help improve insulin sensitivity and control blood glucose levels. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
