DAJIO L 5 TAB

About

DAJIO L 5 TAB is a combination medication likely containing Dapagliflozin and Linagliptin, indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that lowers blood glucose by increasing glucose excretion in the urine via the kidneys. Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that works by enhancing the body's natural ability to control blood glucose levels, increasing active incretin hormones which stimulate insulin release and suppress glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. This combination offers complementary mechanisms to improve glycemic control, with additional benefits such as weight loss and cardiovascular/renal protection from Dapagliflozin, and a low risk of hypoglycemia from Linagliptin, providing a comprehensive approach to diabetes management.
