Dapaglyn M 500 Tablet ER

Dapaglyn M 500 Tablet ER is a combination oral medicine designed for effective management of type two diabetes mellitus. It contains dapagliflozin and metformin in an extended release formulation, combining the benefits of both drugs for optimal blood sugar control. Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that promotes glucose excretion through urine, reducing hyperglycemia, while metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity in muscle and fat tissues. The extended release formulation ensures steady absorption and prolonged effect, minimizing fluctuations in blood sugar levels. Dapaglyn M 500 Tablet ER is particularly useful for patients whose diabetes is not adequately controlled by diet, exercise, or single-drug therapy. Regular intake, along with a balanced diet and physical activity, helps prevent long-term complications like cardiovascular, kidney, and nerve disorders, providing safe and effective management of type two diabetes.
