Dapnat-M 10/1000 Tablet

Product Details
As a member of the ‘antidiabetic medicines’ class, Dapnat-M 10/1000 Tablet is mostly used in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. In patients with heart conditions who have type 2 diabetes, Dapnat-M 10/1000 Tablet also reduces the risk of heart failure. High blood sugar levels are a symptom of the metabolic disorder known as diabetes mellitus. It happens when the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach, produces little to no insulin, or when the hormone insulin, which is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas, is resistant to breaking down glucose to produce energy (insulin resistance). Type 1 diabetes is not a condition for which Dapnat-M 10/1000 Tablet is recommended.

Metformin and dapagliflozin are the two antidiabetic medications that make up Dapnat-M 10/1000 Tablet. Metformin, a member of the biguanide class, controls blood sugar levels, especially in individuals who are obese. Without raising insulin secretion, it has a nonpancreatic action that lowers blood glucose levels. Dapagliflozin is a member of the gliflozin class. By removing extra sugar from the body through urine, it lowers blood sugar levels.

Medicinal Benefits
Dapnat-M 10/1000 Tablet, which comprises Dapagliflozin and Metformin, is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. Biguanides like metformin control blood sugar levels, especially in obese people. Without raising insulin secretion, it has a nonpancreatic action that lowers blood glucose levels. Because it intensifies the effects of insulin, it is sometimes referred to as an insulin sensitiser. Because it does not result in hypoglycemia, or decreased blood sugar levels, metformin is regarded as a special antidiabetic medication. Dapagliflozin is a member of the gliflozin class. By removing extra sugar from the body through urine, it lowers blood sugar levels. In patients with heart disease and type 2 diabetes, Dapnat-M 10/1000 Tablet also lowers the risk of heart failure.

Disease/Condition Glossary
High blood sugar levels are a symptom of diabetes mellitus, sometimes referred to as adult-onset diabetes. It is type 2 diabetes that arises when the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach, produces little to no insulin or when the hormone insulin, which is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas, is resistant to breaking down glucose to produce energy. This condition primarily affects adults over 40, yet depending on risk factors, it can also strike children. Insulin injections and oral glucose-lowering medications are part of the treatment.
