Dapagliflozin 10mg + Glimepiride 2mg + Metformin 1000mg ER Tablets

Product Introduction

Dapagliflozin 10mg + Glimepiride 2mg + Metformin 1000mg combines three glucose-lowering medicines for adults with type 2 diabetes when treatment with fewer medicines is insufficient. It addresses persistent high blood glucose through complementary mechanisms.

How to use

Swallow the tablet whole with water during a meal, usually the first substantial meal of the day when glimepiride is taken. Do not crush or chew the extended-release tablet, and do not skip that meal. Monitor glucose and keep fast-acting sugar available for a low-blood-sugar episode.

How it works

Dapagliflozin promotes glucose loss in urine. Glimepiride increases insulin release from pancreatic beta cells. Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity.

Side effects

Possible effects include low blood sugar, nausea, diarrhoea, stomach upset, increased urination, genital infection, urinary infection, dizziness, sweating, tremor, hunger, and weight change. Serious concerns include severe hypoglycaemia, lactic acidosis, ketoacidosis, dehydration, kidney problems, and severe allergic reaction.

Important information

Tell your doctor about kidney or liver problems, sulfonamide allergy, recurrent infections, pregnancy, breastfeeding, alcohol use, irregular meals or strenuous exercise. Mention insulin and any planned surgery or contrast scan. Kidney assessment and a sick-day plan are important, particularly for older adults or when eating and drinking normally is difficult.
