About
Dapagliflozin 10mg, Sitagliptin 100mg, and Metformin 500mg is a triple-combination tablet for managing Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) to lower high blood sugar, working by removing sugar via urine (Dapagliflozin), reducing liver sugar production & increasing insulin sensitivity (Metformin), and boosting insulin release (Sitagliptin). This fixed-dose combination improves glucose control, reduces complications (kidney, eye, nerve damage), and lowers cardiovascular risk, but requires diet, exercise, and regular monitoring for side effects like UTIs or low blood sugar.
Uses
Treats Type 2 Diabetes: Helps control blood glucose levels when diet, exercise, and other medications aren't enough.
Reduces Complications: Lowers the risk of serious diabetes-related issues like kidney damage, vision loss, nerve problems, and even cardiovascular death.
How it Works (Mechanism)
Dapagliflozin: An SGLT2 inhibitor that makes your kidneys excrete excess sugar in the urine.
Metformin: Decreases sugar production by the liver, reduces sugar absorption from food, and makes your body more responsive to insulin.
Sitagliptin: A DPP-4 inhibitor that helps the pancreas release more insulin and tells the liver to make less sugar when needed.
