Dapamac 5 Tablet

Dapamac 5 Tablet is an anti-diabetic medicine prescribed for adults with type two diabetes mellitus. It contains dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter two (SGLT2) inhibitor that lowers blood sugar by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine. This action helps reduce high blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. Dapamac 5 Tablet may also be used along with other anti-diabetic medicines like metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin for better glycemic control. By maintaining stable blood sugar levels, it reduces the risk of long-term diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, heart issues, and vision disorders. It may also provide benefits in weight management and improve cardiovascular health in diabetic patients. The tablet is usually taken once daily with or without food as directed by the doctor. Lifestyle modifications, such as following a balanced diet, regular exercise, and proper hydration, are essential to maximize its effectiveness.
