Type 2 diabetes mellitus: as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control; may be used when dual therapy is needed.

How Glipcrin Dm 10/500 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, thereby decreasing blood glucose levels.

Dosage & Directions

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed by the doctor. Usually taken once daily with food (often with the first/main meal) to reduce stomach upset; swallow whole if extended-release—do not crush or chew. Maintain adequate hydration and follow diet/exercise advice.

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