Dapagold M 10/1000MG Tab

Tablet

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (as add-on to diet and exercise) to improve glycaemic control; may be used when dual therapy is needed and in patients with overweight/insulin resistance as per physician advice

Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that lowers blood glucose by increasing urinary glucose excretion via the kidneys. Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, helping the body use insulin better.

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, usually once daily with food (preferably with/after a main meal) to reduce stomach upset; swallow whole if SR/ER—do not crush or chew. Maintain adequate hydration; monitor blood sugar as advised.

Nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, decreased appetite, increased urination, thirst, genital yeast infection, urinary tract infection, dizziness, low blood sugar (especially with insulin/sulfonylurea)

Prescription-only antidiabetic. Risk of dehydration and low blood pressure—drink fluids and use caution in elderly/diuretics. Dapagliflozin can increase risk of genital infections and UTIs; seek care for fever, burning urination, genital itching/discharge. Rare but serious: ketoacidosis (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, breathlessness), Fournier’s gangrene (genital/perineal pain/swelling/fever). Metformin carries risk of lactic acidosis—higher with kidney/liver disease, severe infection, dehydration, heavy alcohol use, or hypoxia; kidney function should be assessed before and during therapy. Stop temporarily before major surgery and around iodinated contrast procedures as advised by doctor. Not for type 1 diabetes.

Insulin and sulfonylureas (increased hypoglycaemia risk), diuretics (dehydration/hypotension), ACE inhibitors/ARBs and NSAIDs (may affect kidney function), iodinated contrast media (increase lactic acidosis risk with metformin), alcohol (increases lactic acidosis risk), carbonic anhydrase inhibitors e.g., topiramate (metabolic acidosis risk), cationic drugs eliminated by renal tubular secretion (may raise metformin levels), other glucose-lowering drugs (additive effect)

Store below 25°C in a dry place, protected from moisture and light. Keep in original blister pack and out of reach of children.
