Dapanux Trio 500 Tablet contains three active ingredients, each offering a specific action:
• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): As a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, dapagliflozin inhibits glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, resulting in increased urinary glucose excretion and decreased blood sugar levels.
• Sitagliptin (100 mg): Sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, elevates incretin hormone levels. Incretins signal the pancreas to secrete more insulin when blood sugar is high and signal the liver to cease sugar production.
• Metformin (500 mg): This biguanide reduces glucose absorption from the gastrointestinal tract and decreases hepatic glucose production, improving insulin sensitivity to lower blood sugar levels.
