Dapanorm Duo-10 Tablet combines two active ingredients that work together to manage blood glucose levels:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, which works by blocking the reabsorption of glucose in your kidneys. This leads to increased excretion of glucose through your urine, thus reducing your blood sugar levels.

• Sitagliptin (100 mg): This is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, which increases the levels of certain hormones, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). These hormones signal your pancreas to produce more insulin when blood sugar levels are high and reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver.

These two different mechanisms work together to provide a synergistic effect in managing blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

• Regular exercise: Incorporating physical activity into your daily routine can help manage your blood sugar levels. This is beneficial for individuals taking Dapanorm Duo-10 Tablet for type 2 diabetes. Consult your doctor to tailor an exercise plan suitable for you.

• Balanced diet: Consuming a balanced diet rich in fibre and low in refined sugars can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. This is particularly crucial when managing type 2 diabetes with Dapanorm Duo-10 Tablet.
