Justoza-M 10/500 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This component belongs to a group of medicines known as SGLT2 (sodium-glucose co-transporter 2) inhibitors. These work by making the kidneys remove glucose from your bloodstream through urine, therefore increasing glucose excretion and reducing renal glucose reabsorption.

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin is an anti-hyperglycaemic agent that decreases glucose production by the liver and reduces intestinal absorption of glucose. It also improves insulin sensitivity, which leads to an increase in peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation. Importantly, Metformin does not cause hypoglycemia.

These ingredients work together to control blood sugar levels effectively in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
