CompositionDapanorm Duo 10 Tablet is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults whose blood sugar is not adequately controlled. It is a combination medicine containing dapagliflozin and sitagliptin, and belongs to the classes of SGLT2 inhibitors and DPP-4 inhibitors.
Dapagliflozin helps the kidneys remove excess glucose through the urine, while sitagliptin increases insulin release and reduces glucose production by the liver, together giving stronger blood sugar control than either medicine alone, particularly for people whose blood sugar is not adequately managed with dapagliflozin or sitagliptin alone. Take this tablet daily, with or without food, and drink enough fluids through the day, since dapagliflozin increases how much you urinate. Use the dose, frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor.
A balanced diet, regular physical activity, staying well hydrated and keeping the genital area clean and dry support blood sugar control and help reduce infection risk alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems before starting this medicine, and about any other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. Speak to your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding. Tell your doctor immediately if you notice deep, laboured breathing, nausea or unusual tiredness even with a normal blood sugar reading, as this can signal diabetic ketoacidosis. Report any burning on passing urine, genital itching, or severe abdominal pain, and report any side effects that persist or become serious. Do not stop taking this medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
