Dapabite M 5mg/500mg Tablet ER

Dapabite M 5mg/500mg Tablet ER is a combination medicine prescribed for people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps in lowering elevated blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of complications linked to diabetes, and also providing protection for the heart.

The tablet should be taken along with food, preferably at the same time every day to maintain consistency. Your doctor will decide the appropriate dose for you. Stopping the medicine suddenly without medical advice may cause blood sugar levels to rise, which could increase the chances of kidney damage, vision loss, and other serious issues. Along with medication, following a healthy lifestyle that includes proper diet, regular physical activity, and weight management is essential for best results.

Some commonly reported side effects include sore throat, nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Staying well-hydrated helps reduce the risk of dehydration. In some cases, fungal infections in the genital area may occur, which can often be prevented by maintaining good hygiene.

Before starting this treatment, let your doctor know if you have kidney or liver-related problems, urinary tract infections, or if you are taking diuretic medicines. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it may increase the risk of unwanted effects. Regular blood sugar monitoring is recommended during the course of treatment.

This tablet combines two antidiabetic agents: dapagliflozin, which removes excess glucose from the body through urine, and metformin, which decreases sugar production in the liver, delays absorption from the intestines, and enhances insulin sensitivity. Together, they offer more effective blood sugar control and help lower the risk of diabetes-related cardiovascular complications.

Side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fungal infections, frequent urination, flatulence, changes in taste, dizziness, rash, urinary difficulties, hypoglycemia, tremors, back pain, changes in blood lipid levels, or reduced kidney function. Most of these improve as the body adjusts, but medical advice should be sought if they persist.
