Dapaglyn M 500mg Tablet

About
Dapaglyn M 500 Tablet ER is a combination medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes. It contains Metformin and Dapagliflozin, which work together to lower high blood sugar levels. Metformin helps reduce glucose production in the liver and improves the body's response to insulin, while Dapagliflozin removes excess sugar through urine. This medication should be taken with food at the same time each day, as prescribed by your doctor. It is part of a broader treatment plan that includes a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight control. Dapaglyn M 500 is not meant for type 1 diabetes. Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and genital infections. Though rare, serious side effects such as lactic acidosis and diabetic ketoacidosis may occur. If any unusual or severe symptoms appear, it's important to consult your doctor promptly.
