Zucapride M 1000 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This component is a selective sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It works by blocking glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, causing excess glucose to be removed from the body through urine, thereby reducing blood sugar levels.

• Metformin (1000 mg): As a biguanide, metformin decreases glucose production by the liver. It also improves insulin sensitivity by increasing glucose uptake and utilisation in peripheral tissues such as muscles, helping to lower blood sugar levels without causing hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar).
