Dapabite M 5/1000mg Tablet 10’s treats type 2 diabetes mellitus and contains Metformin and Dapagliflozin. Metformin is a biguanide and manages blood sugar levels, particularly in obese patients. It exhibits a nonpancreatic effect to reduce blood glucose levels without increasing insulin secretion. It is also known as an insulin sensitizer as it increases the effects of insulin. Metformin is considered a unique antidiabetic drug since it does not cause hypoglycemia (lowered blood sugar levels). Dapagliflozin belongs to the class of gliflozins. It works by reducing blood sugar levels by eliminating excess sugars from the body through urine. Dapabite M 5/1000mg Tablet 10’s also reduces the risk of heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Dapabite M 5/1000mg Tablet 10’s may be advised with or without other medications along with diet and exercise to control blood sugar levels. 

Swallow it as a whole with water; do not crush, break or chew it. Take it preferably with a meal since it lowers blood sugar levels and may cause gastrointestinal side effects.
