Damita M 10/500 Tablet ER

Damita M 10/500 Tablet ER is an anti-diabetic medicine that combines two active ingredients, dapagliflozin and metformin, to help manage type two diabetes mellitus effectively. This extended-release tablet works by improving blood sugar control in adults whose diabetes cannot be managed by diet and exercise alone. Dapagliflozin belongs to the sodium-glucose co-transporter two inhibitors, which remove excess sugar from the body through urine, while metformin, a biguanide, decreases sugar production in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin. Together, they provide dual action in controlling high blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of complications like kidney damage, nerve problems, eye disorders, and heart disease. This medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed by the doctor, usually once daily with meals, to ensure better gastrointestinal tolerance and sustained blood sugar control. Following a healthy diet, regular exercise, and routine monitoring are important for achieving the best outcomes with Damita M 10/500 Tablet ER.
