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

Product Introduction

Dapagliflozin 10mg + Glimepiride 2mg + Metformin 1000mg ER combines dapagliflozin, glimepiride, and metformin for adults with type 2 diabetes when the prescriber wants SGLT2 inhibition, sulfonylurea insulin release, and metformin insulin-sensitising action in one regimen. This product is not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Important safety issues include hypoglycaemia, weight change, genital fungal infection, urinary infection, dehydration, dapagliflozin-related ketoacidosis during stress states, and metformin-associated lactic acidosis in high-risk settings. The medicine may need temporary interruption before surgery, contrast imaging, prolonged fasting, dehydration, or serious illness.

How to use

Take Dapagliflozin 10mg + Glimepiride 2mg + Metformin 1000mg ER with food as prescribed, usually with the main meal if directed, to reduce stomach upset and hypoglycaemia risk. Do not skip meals after taking it. Monitor glucose and carry fast-acting sugar for low-blood-sugar symptoms.

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.

Common 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.
