Product Overview

Dapanorm-M10 Forte Tablet ER combines two active ingredients used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works to lower elevated blood sugar levels, which helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications and supports heart health.

This medication should be taken with meals, ideally at the same time each day to ensure consistent blood levels. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment. It is important not to discontinue the medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as stopping suddenly can cause blood sugar levels to rise and increase the risk of severe complications such as kidney damage and vision problems. This medicine is part of a broader diabetes management plan that includes a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and weight management as advised by your doctor.

Common side effects include symptoms such as sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Drinking adequate fluids can help prevent dehydration during treatment. Some patients may experience fungal infections in the genital area, which can often be prevented by maintaining good personal hygiene.

Before starting Dapanorm-M10 Forte Tablet ER, inform your doctor if you have any existing kidney or liver conditions, urinary tract infections, or if you are taking diuretics (water pills). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medication. It is also advisable to avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on this treatment, as it may increase the likelihood of side effects. Regular monitoring of your blood glucose levels is important throughout your treatment.

Uses

This medication is prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus by helping to regulate and lower high blood sugar levels. By promoting the elimination of excess glucose through urine, it helps control blood sugar more effectively. Proper management of blood glucose is crucial in reducing the risk of complications such as kidney damage, nerve damage, eye problems, and the potential loss of limbs. Additionally, it can lower the risk of cardiovascular-related death in patients with type 2 diabetes who already have heart disease. When combined with a healthy lifestyle, continued use of this medicine can contribute to maintaining a normal and healthy life.

Side Effects

Most side effects tend to be mild and may diminish as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if symptoms persist or cause concern, consult your doctor. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, genital fungal infections, inflammation of the nasal and throat passages, urinary tract infections, increased urination, gas, skin rash, changes in taste, difficulty urinating, low blood sugar episodes, tremors, dizziness, back pain, increased hematocrit levels, decreased kidney function, and altered cholesterol levels.

Directions for Use

Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration. Swallow the tablet whole with food; do not chew, break, or crush it. Consistency in timing will help maximize the medication’s benefits.

How It Works

Dapanorm-M10 Forte Tablet ER contains Dapagliflozin and Metformin. Dapagliflozin helps the body eliminate excess glucose through urine, while Metformin lowers glucose production in the liver, delays absorption of sugar from the intestines, and improves the body’s response to insulin. Together, these actions help maintain better control of blood sugar levels.
