Udapa-M 500 XR Tablet carries out its function through two active ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. This means it blocks the reabsorption of glucose in your kidneys and promotes its excretion in urine. This helps remove excess glucose from your body without depending on insulin.

• Metformin (500 mg): Metformin falls under the category of biguanide antidiabetic agents. It works by reducing glucose production in your liver, decreasing the absorption of glucose in your intestines, and enhancing insulin sensitivity by increasing glucose uptake and usage in peripheral areas of your body. The extended-release formulation allows for prolonged absorption of metformin, offering round-the-clock control of blood sugar levels.
