Dapanorm Trio Tablet ER

Description

Product Description

Dapanorm Trio Tablet ER is a prescription anti-diabetic medicine that combines three different glucose-lowering agents—Dapagliflozin, Sitagliptin, and Metformin Hydrochloride Extended Release. This combination provides multiple mechanisms of action to help achieve better glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Metformin Extended Release helps decrease glucose production by the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, increases incretin hormone activity to enhance insulin release and reduce glucagon secretion after meals. Dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, lowers blood glucose by promoting the elimination of excess glucose through urine.

When used together with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and lifestyle modifications, Dapanorm Trio Tablet ER helps maintain healthy 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

Take Dapanorm Trio Tablet ER exactly as prescribed by your physician. Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably with food. Do not crush, chew, or break the extended-release tablet.

How It Works

Metformin Extended Release reduces glucose production by the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Sitagliptin inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, increasing incretin hormone activity to stimulate insulin release and decrease glucagon secretion. Dapagliflozin inhibits the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys, increasing urinary glucose excretion and thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
