Zomelis D 5 Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Zomelis D 5 Tablet 10 incorporates two active ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (5 mg): This ingredient is a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor. By selectively inhibiting SGLT2, which is responsible for the reabsorption of glucose back into your blood from the kidneys, dapagliflozin reduces renal glucose reabsorption. This action leads to urinary glucose excretion and a consequent lowering of blood glucose levels.

• Vildagliptin (100 mg): This component is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor. It slows down the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP that are released in response to a meal. By doing so, vildagliptin increases active incretin levels and enhances insulin secretion dependent on glucose levels. It also limits inappropriate glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner.

• Store your Zomelis D 5 Tablet 10 in a cool and dry place, where the temperature stays below 30°C.

• Make sure to keep it away from direct light and heat.

• Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach and sight of children.

• As Zomelis D 5 Tablet 10 is used to manage type 2 diabetes, try to follow a balanced diet that is low in sugar. This can help in controlling your blood glucose levels.

• Regular physical exercise, like walking or cycling, can also help maintain good glycemic control. It's always beneficial to manage type 2 diabetes effectively.
