Uses of Dapalyst 5 Tablet

Benefits of Medicine

Dapalyst 5 Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication that is primarily prescribed to people whose blood sugar levels are high and cannot be controlled by diet and exercise alone. It contains “Dapagliflozin,” a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor that inhibits SGLT-2 enzymes in the kidney, which in turn prevents the reabsorption of glucose from the blood filtered through your kidney, increasing the amount of glucose excreted from your body when you urinate.

Instructions for Use

As directed by a physician, take 5 Dapalyst tablets with or without food. Drink a glass of water and swallow it whole. Avoid breaking, chewing, or crushing it.

Glossary of Conditions and Diseases

Type 2 diabetes is a chronic or lifelong illness in which the body’s cells do not react to insulin, and in more advanced stages, the body does not even create enough insulin. It accounts for about 90% of all instances of diabetes. Because of this illness, the body must rely on various energy sources for its muscles, tissues, and organs. Constant hunger, low energy, exhaustion, weight loss, extreme thirst, frequent urination, dry mouth, itchy skin, and blurred eyesight are some of the early signs of this disease, which develops gradually. Type 2 diabetes, often known as adult-onset diabetes, is most likely to affect people who are middle-aged or older. Uncontrolled type 2 diabetes can cause blindness or damage to the retina of the eyes.
