Dapanorm-M 10 Tablet

Description

Product Description

Dapanorm-M 10 Tablet is a prescription anti-diabetic medicine formulated with Dapagliflozin 10 mg and Metformin Hydrochloride. It is commonly prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose blood sugar levels are not adequately controlled with lifestyle modifications or a single anti-diabetic medicine.

Metformin helps reduce glucose production by the liver, decreases intestinal glucose absorption, and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Dapagliflozin belongs to the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class and lowers blood glucose by promoting the elimination of excess glucose through urine.

When used together with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle modifications, Dapanorm-M 10 Tablet helps maintain stable blood glucose levels, improve glycemic control, and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications. It is not intended for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis.
