About Dapnat 5 mg Tablet
Dapnat 5 mg Tablet is a member of the class of medications known as “anti-diabetic” medications, which are mainly used to treat and manage type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a condition that happens when there is either less insulin or available insulin is not efficiently utilized by our body cells for decreasing increased blood glucose. About 90% of all occurrences of diabetes are of this type, which is most prevalent in middle-aged individuals. Therefore, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or adult-onset diabetes are other names for it.

Dapnat 5 mg Tablet contains ‘Dapagliflozin’ a protein found in kidney known as sodium-glucose cotransporters-2 (SGLT-2 inhibitor) that works by inhibiting the reabsorption of glucose in the body, resulting in an increase in glucose excretion through urine. The removal of excessive glucose helps to lower down the blood sugar level.

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.
