Dapanorm 10 Tablet

Description

Product Description

Dapanorm 10 Tablet is a prescription medicine containing Dapagliflozin 10 mg, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It may be prescribed alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic medicines when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate blood sugar control.

Dapagliflozin works by preventing the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose, allowing excess glucose to be eliminated through urine. This helps lower blood glucose levels independently of insulin action.

In addition to managing blood sugar, Dapagliflozin has demonstrated benefits in appropriate patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease, where it may help reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure and slow the progression of kidney disease under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

Dapanorm 10 Tablet should not be used for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis.
