Description
Dapaone-M 10/1000 is a combination medication containing Metformin (1000 mg – ER) and Dapagliflozin (10 mg). This medication is typically prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes. Here’s a breakdown of its components:
- Metformin (1000 mg – ER):
- Metformin is a biguanide that helps to lower blood sugar levels primarily by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. The Extended Release (ER) formulation allows for a slower release of the medication over time, which may reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
- Dapagliflozin (10 mg):
- Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor. It works by preventing the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose, which leads to the excretion of excess glucose through urine, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
Together, these two medications help to improve blood sugar control in individuals with type 2 diabetes by targeting different mechanisms:
- Metformin addresses insulin resistance.
- Dapagliflozin helps reduce blood sugar through increased excretion of glucose in the urine.
