What is Zinodap M5/1000 SR used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus: to improve glycaemic control in adults as an adjunct to diet and exercise
when dual therapy with metformin and an SGLT2 inhibitor is appropriate

How Zinodap M5/1000 SR Works

Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, increasing urinary glucose excretion. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity; the SR form releases drug slowly to improve GI tolerability and provide prolonged effect.

Dosage & Directions

Oral tablet (SR). Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with a meal (preferably with/after the main meal) to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole; do not crush, chew or break. Maintain adequate hydration.

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

Key Benefits

Lowers fasting and post-meal blood sugar
Improves HbA1c control with dual mechanism
Sustained-release metformin for better GI tolerance
May aid modest weight reduction
Lowers risk of hypoglycaemia when not used with insulin/secretagogues

Pregnancy

Not recommended; consult doctor (generally avoid SGLT2 inhibitors in 2nd/3rd trimester; use only if clearly needed)

Alcohol Interaction

Avoid (increases risk of lactic acidosis and dehydration)
