Dapanorm trio forte tablet ER

Description

Product Description

Dapanorm Trio Forte Tablet ER is a prescription anti-diabetic medicine formulated with Dapagliflozin, Sitagliptin, and Metformin Hydrochloride Extended Release (ER). It is commonly prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus whose blood glucose levels are not adequately controlled with lifestyle modifications or dual-drug therapy.

The combination offers complementary mechanisms of action to improve glycemic control. Metformin ER reduces glucose production in the liver, improves insulin sensitivity, and decreases intestinal glucose absorption. Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, enhances incretin hormone activity to increase insulin secretion and reduce glucagon release in a glucose-dependent manner. Dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, lowers blood glucose by promoting the elimination of excess glucose through urine.

The “Forte” formulation generally contains a higher strength of one or more active ingredients as prescribed by the physician for patients requiring more intensive glycemic control. When used together with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and healthy lifestyle changes, Dapanorm Trio Forte Tablet ER helps maintain stable blood sugar levels and supports long-term diabetes management.

It is not indicated for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis.

How to Use

How It Works

Metformin ER decreases glucose production in the liver, improves insulin sensitivity, and reduces intestinal glucose absorption. Sitagliptin inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, increasing incretin hormone activity to stimulate insulin secretion and suppress glucagon release. Dapagliflozin inhibits the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys, increasing urinary glucose excretion and lowering blood glucose levels.
