Product Description
DAPAGLYN M 10/500 is a fixed-dose combination medication that contains Metformin (500.00mg/tablet) and Dapagliflozin (10.00mg/tablet). Metformin belongs to a class of medications known as biguanides and is used to treat type 2 diabetes. It helps lower blood glucose levels by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity in the body.
