How it Works?
Dapanux M 500 Tablet contains two active components:
• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor works by inhibiting the re-absorption of glucose in the kidneys, thereby increasing glucose excretion through urine and reducing blood sugar levels.
• Metformin (500 mg): As a biguanide, metformin lowers blood sugar by decreasing hepatic glucose production and enhancing insulin sensitivity, encouraging better insulin response and improving glucose uptake and utilisation by cells.
