Dapagliflozin 5mg + Metformin 500mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Dapagliflozin 5mg + Metformin 500mg combines an SGLT2 inhibitor with a biguanide for blood-sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

How to use

Take metformin-containing tablets with meals to reduce stomach upset. Keep hydration adequate because dapagliflozin increases glucose and fluid loss in urine.

How it works

Dapagliflozin lowers blood sugar by helping the kidneys remove glucose through urine. Metformin reduces liver glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity.

Common side effects

Possible side effects include nausea, diarrhoea, stomach discomfort, genital or urinary infection, increased urination, dehydration, low blood sugar when combined with insulin or sulfonylureas, and rarely lactic acidosis or ketoacidosis.

Important information

Review kidney function, dehydration risk, recurrent genital infection, heavy alcohol intake, severe illness, surgery/fasting plans, and symptoms such as fruity breath, vomiting, deep breathing, or unusual weakness.
