What is Daparyl M 5/1000 Tab used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (as an adjunct to diet and exercise) to improve glycaemic control when dual therapy is appropriate or when patients are uncontrolled on metformin or an SGLT2 inhibitor alone

How Daparyl M 5/1000 Tab Works

Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that lowers blood glucose by increasing urinary glucose excretion from the kidneys. Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, decreasing intestinal glucose absorption and improving peripheral glucose uptake.

Dosage & Directions

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed; commonly taken once daily with food (preferably with the evening meal if extended-release) to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole; do not crush/chew if ER. Maintain adequate hydration; monitor blood glucose as advised.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.

Key Benefits

Lowers HbA1c and fasting/postprandial glucose
Helps weight reduction or weight neutrality
Lowers risk of hypoglycaemia when used without insulin/sulfonylurea
May provide cardiovascular and renal protective benefits associated with SGLT2 inhibitors

Pregnancy

Not recommended; consult doctor (insufficient safety data and potential fetal risk especially in 2nd/3rd trimester)

Alcohol Interaction

Avoid or use with caution; alcohol increases risk of lactic acidosis and hypoglycaemia
