Dapefy-S 10/100 Tablet is taken orally.

Dapefy-S 10/100 Tablet comprises two key ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): This component works in your body by inhibiting a protein called Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT2). This protein usually reabsorbs glucose from your urine back into the bloodstream. By blocking SGLT2, dapagliflozin increases glucose excretion through urine, which helps reduce blood glucose levels.

• Sitagliptin (100 mg): Sitagliptin functions by inhibiting an enzyme called Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4). This enzyme normally breaks down hormones called incretins, which include glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). By preventing the rapid breakdown of these hormones, sitagliptin increases their effects, contributing to a rise in insulin secretion and a decrease in glucagon secretion, both of which depend on glucose levels.

• Regular physical activity is vital. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise like walking or cycling daily, as it helps lower blood glucose levels. Remember to consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
