What is Dgson M 10/500 Tab used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (to improve glycaemic control) as an adjunct to diet and exercise; may be used when dual therapy is required or when not controlled on single agent

How Dgson M 10/500 Tab Works

Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, increasing urinary glucose excretion and lowering blood sugar. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, reducing glucose levels.

Dosage & Directions

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed by the doctor, usually once daily with food (especially if metformin is SR/ER) to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole; do not crush/chew sustained/extended-release tablets. Maintain adequate hydration.

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

Key Benefits

Lowers blood glucose in type 2 diabetes
Improves insulin sensitivity and reduces liver glucose output
Promotes urinary glucose excretion and may aid weight reduction
Lowers fasting and post-meal glucose
May reduce blood pressure slightly due to mild diuretic effect

Pregnancy

Not recommended; consult doctor (metformin may be used in select cases, but dapagliflozin is generally avoided in pregnancy)

Alcohol Interaction

Avoid or use with caution; alcohol increases risk of lactic acidosis and can worsen dehydration
