Key benefits

How Dapaease - V 10 mg SR Tablet works

Dapagliflozin (SGLT2 inhibitor) lowers blood glucose by increasing urinary glucose excretion via the kidneys. Vildagliptin (DPP-4 inhibitor) increases incretin levels, enhancing glucose-dependent insulin release and reducing glucagon secretion. Together they improve fasting and post‑meal glucose control with a low risk of hypoglycaemia when not used with insulin/sulfonylureas.
