Dapabite M 10mg/500mg Tablet ER

Dapabite M 10mg/500mg Tablet ER is a combination medicine prescribed for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works to keep blood sugar levels under control, which helps lower the risk of long-term complications and offers protection against heart-related problems.

The tablet should be taken with food and preferably at the same time each day to ensure consistent results. The exact dose will be guided by your doctor. Stopping the medicine without medical advice can cause your sugar levels to rise, which may increase the risk of kidney damage, vision loss, and other complications. Along with treatment, following a balanced diet, staying active, and managing body weight are key aspects of diabetes care.

Some individuals may notice side effects such as headache, sore throat, runny nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or nasal congestion. Drinking sufficient fluids can help reduce the risk of dehydration. Fungal infections in the genital region may also occur, which can often be prevented by maintaining good hygiene.

Before beginning this medicine, let your doctor know if you have liver or kidney issues, urinary infections, or if you are taking diuretics. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before starting. Alcohol should be avoided, as it can worsen certain side effects. Blood sugar levels should be checked regularly while using this medicine.

This tablet combines two active components: dapagliflozin, which helps remove extra sugar from the body through urine, and metformin, which reduces sugar production in the liver, slows down sugar absorption in the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Together, they provide better blood sugar management and help reduce cardiovascular risks in people with type 2 diabetes.

Side effects that may occur include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, urinary tract infections, genital fungal infections, skin rash, dizziness, increased urination, back pain, low blood sugar, changes in taste, or digestive discomfort. Most of these effects settle as the body adapts, but medical advice should be taken if they persist or worsen.
