Dapnat 10mg Tablet 10's

About

Dapnat 10 Tablet is classified as an anti-diabetic medication, mainly used to manage and treat type 2 diabetes. This form of diabetes occurs when the body either produces insufficient insulin or is unable to effectively use the insulin it does produce to regulate blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes is the most prevalent form, making up about 90% of all diabetes cases, and is most commonly seen in middle-aged adults, which is why it's also referred to as adult-onset or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).

The active ingredient in Dapnat 10 Tablet is Dapagliflozin, which belongs to a class of drugs known as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors. It works by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, promoting the elimination of excess glucose through urine. This process helps to effectively lower blood sugar levels.
