How It Works
Dapagliflozin blocks a protein in the kidneys called SGLT2, reducing glucose reabsorption and allowing excess glucose to leave the body through urine. Metformin primarily reduces glucose production by the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Together, these actions help lower and control blood glucose levels.
How to Use
- Take Dapagliflozin + Metformin exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
- Take it with food to reduce the chance of stomach discomfort.
- Continue regular exercise and follow a healthy, balanced diet.
- Take any other diabetes medicines only as directed by your healthcare professional.
- Drink adequate fluids to help maintain hydration, particularly because Dapagliflozin can increase urination.
- Do not change the dose or stop treatment without consulting your doctor.
Important Information
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, flatulence, increased urination, urinary tract infections, genital fungal infections, and nasopharyngitis. Dapagliflozin may increase fluid loss and can cause dehydration, so maintaining adequate hydration is important. Low blood sugar may occur, particularly when this combination is used with other medicines that lower blood glucose, or when meals are delayed or missed.
Seek medical advice if you develop severe dehydration, persistent vomiting, significant weakness, symptoms of a urinary or genital infection, or other unusual symptoms. This medicine should be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
