Dapagliflozin removes excess glucose through urine.

Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, slows glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases insulin sensitivity.

Complication Prevention
Consistent blood glucose control lowers the risk of kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, cardiovascular events, and other diabetes-related complications.

Improved Quality of Life

How It Works

Dapagliflozin: A sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that removes excess glucose from the body via urine.

Metformin: A biguanide that decreases glucose production in the liver, slows intestinal absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity.

Together, they provide better control of fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels.
