Dapagliflozin +Sitagliptin +Metformin Tablets

Dapagliflozin+ Sitagliptin+ Metformin is an antidiabetic drug employed to control diabetes. It is employed in the treatment of Type II Diabetes. Type II Diabetes Mellitus is a dangerous condition where the body fails to utilize insulin efficiently, which results in abnormal blood glucose levels (either failing to produce enough insulin, or the insulin they produce does not achieve its function within the body).

Dapagliflozin+ Sitagliptin+ Metformin consists of Dapagliflozin (sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors), which takes the excess sugar from the body through urine, Sitagliptin (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor), which acts by boosting the levels of some natural body substances that reduce blood sugar levels when high and Metformin (biguanides), which acts by cutting down on sugar release by the liver cells and slows sugar intake from intestines. Dietary regulation and physical exercises, coupled with treatment with Dapagliflozin+ Sitagliptin+ Metformin, are utilized in managing the level of blood sugar.

Medical Benefits:-

Dapagliflozin+ Sitagliptin+ Metformin is a combination of the three medications: Sitagliptin, Dapagliflozin, and Metformin. Dapagliflozin+ Sitagliptin+ Metformin is classified as an anti-diabetic drug used for the treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus in addition to diet and exercise. It eliminates excess sugar from the body through urine, raises the levels of some natural substances that decrease blood sugar when it increases, decreases sugar production by the cells in the liver, and slows down sugar absorption from the intestines.

How Does Dapagliflozin+ Sitagliptin+ Metformin Medicine Work?

Dapagliflozin + Metformin + Sitagliptin is a drug that consists of three antidiabetic medications. Dapagliflozin increases urine glucose excretion and lowers the level of blood glucose. Metformin lowers the level of glucose you absorb from food and the amount produced by the liver. Metformin also boosts the body’s sensitivity to insulin, a natural hormone that regulates the level of glucose in the blood. Sitagliptin manages blood sugar levels by rising substances (incretins) in the body that cause the pancreas to secrete more insulin. It also instructs the liver to cease production of sugar (glucose) when there is excessive sugar present in the blood.

• If you become abnormally thirsty, urinate more often, and feel fatigued, inform your doctor. These are symptoms that there is excess sugar in your blood and your dosage needs to be changed.
