About this product

Overview

Daplyza M 5+850mg tablet is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Dapagliflozin & Metformin. It is prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that helps lower blood sugar levels by promoting the excretion of glucose through urine. Metformin, on the other hand, is a biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and enhances insulin sensitivity, leading to improved glycemic control.

Uses

Daplyza M 5+850mg tablet is used to treat type 2 diabetes when lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, alone are insufficient to control blood glucose levels. The combination of Dapagliflozin and Metformin offers complementary mechanisms of action, providing more effective management of diabetes:

  1. Dapagliflozin: It inhibits SGLT2 in the kidneys, reducing glucose reabsorption and increasing the excretion of excess glucose in the urine, leading to lower blood sugar levels.
  2. Metformin: It decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, resulting in better utilization of glucose by the body’s cells.

Side Effects

As with any medication, Daplyza M 5+850mg tablet may cause side effects in some individuals. It is essential to seek medical attention if any of the following side effects are experienced and become bothersome:

  1. Common Side Effects:

  2. Serious Side Effects (Rare – Seek Immediate Medical Attention):

    • Severe allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of the face/tongue/throat)
    • Lactic acidosis (unusual muscle pain, difficulty breathing, stomach discomfort)
    • Dehydration or excessive thirst
