Uses

Treatment of Type II Diabetes Mellitus

How it works

This tablet contains three antidiabetic medicines: Dapagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor), Teneligliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor), and Metformin (a biguanide).

• Dapagliflozin promotes the excretion of excess glucose through urine.

• Teneligliptin increases incretin hormone levels, enhancing insulin secretion and reducing glucagon release.

• Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and slows intestinal glucose absorption.

• Together, they provide comprehensive glycemic control.

Benefits

• Effectively treats type 2 diabetes mellitus by lowering blood sugar levels through multiple mechanisms.

• Dapagliflozin helps remove excess sugar via urine, Teneligliptin boosts insulin secretion and reduces glucagon, and Metformin reduces glucose production and absorption.

• Used alongside diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control and reduce cardiovascular risks.

How to use

• Take as advised by your doctor; do not exceed the prescribed dose.

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not chew, crush, or break it.

• Take with meals to minimize gastrointestinal side effects.
