Medicinal Benefits:

Dapamight M 10mg/1000mg Tablet treats type 2 diabetes mellitus and contains Metformin and Dapagliflozin. Metformin is a biguanide and manages blood sugar levels, particularly in obese patients.

Metformin is considered a unique antidiabetic drug since it does not cause hypoglycemia (lowered blood sugar levels). Dapagliflozin belongs to the class of gliflozins. It works by reducing blood sugar levels by eliminating excess sugars from the body through urine. Dapamight M 10mg/1000mg Tablet also reduces the risk of heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
