About this product

Overview

Dapwiz 10mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Dapagliflozin, which belongs to a class of medications called sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It is primarily prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus to help lower blood sugar levels. Dapagliflozin works by inhibiting SGLT2 in the kidneys, thereby reducing the reabsorption of glucose and promoting its excretion in the urine, leading to a decrease in blood glucose levels.

Uses

How it Works

Dapagliflozin in Dapwiz 10mg Tablet works by inhibiting sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) in the proximal tubules of the kidneys. This mechanism reduces the reabsorption of glucose from the urine into the bloodstream, thereby increasing the excretion of glucose in the urine and lowering blood glucose levels.
