Dapacose-M 10 Tablet ER

Product Overview
Dapacose-M 10 Tablet ER is a combination medication designed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps regulate high blood sugar levels, thereby lowering the risk of diabetes-related complications such as kidney problems, nerve damage, vision issues, and heart disease.

This tablet should be taken with meals to reduce stomach discomfort. It’s best to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood sugar control. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it can cause your blood sugar levels to rise, increasing the risk of serious complications. Along with medication, a proper diet, regular physical activity, and weight management are essential for effective diabetes control.

Some common side effects include nasal congestion, sore throat, runny nose, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Drinking enough water can help prevent dehydration. In some cases, patients may experience fungal infections in the genital area, which can be avoided by maintaining proper hygiene.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any kidney or liver issues, urinary tract infections, or if you are using diuretics (water pills). Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before taking it. It’s also important to limit alcohol consumption as it may increase the risk of certain side effects. Blood sugar levels should be checked regularly to track progress.

Uses of Dapacose-M 10 Tablet ER

• Helps in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits

Regular use, combined with lifestyle changes, supports a healthier and more active life while reducing the risk of heart problems in diabetic patients with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions.

Most side effects are mild and improve as your body adapts to the medicine. If they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

How to Take
Take the tablet as prescribed, without crushing or breaking it. It should always be taken with food to minimize stomach upset.

How It Works
Dapacose-M 10 Tablet ER combines two antidiabetic agents: Dapagliflozin and Metformin. Dapagliflozin helps the body get rid of excess glucose through urine, while Metformin lowers glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin. Together, they provide better control of blood sugar levels.

• Pregnancy – Use only if prescribed by a doctor, as it may affect the developing baby.
• Breastfeeding – Not recommended as it may pass into breast milk.
• Driving – Be cautious; very high or very low blood sugar levels can affect concentration and reaction times.
• Kidney and Liver Health – Dose adjustments may be necessary for patients with kidney or liver issues.

Missed Dose
