Dapanorm Duo 10 Tablet

Description

Product Description

Dapanorm Duo 10 Tablet is a prescription anti-diabetic medicine formulated with Dapagliflozin 10 mg and Metformin Hydrochloride. It is commonly prescribed for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults when diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications alone are insufficient to achieve adequate glycemic control.

Dapagliflozin belongs to the Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class and works by promoting the removal of excess glucose through urine. Metformin belongs to the biguanide class and helps reduce glucose production in the liver, decrease intestinal glucose absorption, and improve insulin sensitivity.

When used regularly under medical supervision, along with a balanced diet and physical activity, Dapanorm Duo 10 Tablet helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels and may also provide cardiovascular and kidney benefits in eligible patients, as determined by the treating physician.

How It Works
