Dpagzoon- M 10/1000 | Dapagliflozin10mg & Metformin Hydrochloride 1000mg | 10*10 | ALU-ALU |
Dapagliflozin + Metformin HCL is a mix of two diabetes medicines: Dapagliflozin and Metformin. Dapagliflozin helps get rid of extra sugar from your body by sending it out in your urine. Metformin helps lower sugar made by the liver, slows down how sugar is absorbed from food, and makes the body better at using insulin. Working together helps control blood sugar better.
How It Works
Dapagliflozin and Metformin work well together to reduce blood sugar levels. Dapagliflozin helps the kidneys get rid of extra sugar through urine, while Metformin helps the body use insulin better. This helps our body cells use more of the sugar in the blood, which lowers blood sugar levels. It also stops the liver from making sugar and lowers how much sugar the body takes in.
How To Use?
- Follow all the instructions on your medicine label and read any guides or instructions that come with your medicine. Sometimes, your doctor might adjust how much medicine you take. Take the medicine just as the instructions say.
- To prevent a stomach ache, take it with food.
- Swallow the pill whole. Don’t crush, chew, or break it.
- You might have low blood sugar and feel hungry, dizzy, grumpy, confused, nervous, or shaky. To quickly help with low blood sugar, eat or drink something that has sugar in it, like fruit juice, hard candy, crackers, raisins, or regular soda.
- Your doctor might give you a kit for glucagon shots if you have very low blood sugar. Make sure your family or close friends know how to give you this shot in case of an emergency.
- Look out for signs of high blood sugar, like drinking more water or needing to pee often.
- Stress, getting sick, surgery, exercising, drinking alcohol, or not eating can change your blood sugar levels. Talk to your doctor before changing how much medicine you take or when you take it.
- Call your doctor if you keep throwing up or have diarrhea, or if you are sweating a lot more than normal. Taking dapagliflozin and metformin can make it easy to get dehydrated, which can cause very low blood pressure or serious problems with electrolytes in your body.
