Product Details:

Dapa-Met combines two effective components, Dapagliflozin and Metformin, in a single tablet. Dapagliflozin works as an anti-diabetic agent by helping the body remove excess sugar through the urine. Metformin complements this action by improving the body's insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production in the liver. Together, these ingredients assist in managing type 2 diabetes, particularly when used alongside a balanced diet and regular exercise.

Primary Uses:

• Type 2 Diabetes Management: Dapa-Met helps lower blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, contributing to overall better glycemic control.
