Dapaturn S 100/10 mg Tablet

Dapaturn S 100/10 mg Tablet is a combination medication manufactured by Lupin Ltd. It is prescribed for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults, particularly when blood sugar levels are inadequately controlled by diet and exercise alone.

💊 Composition (per tablet):
