It comprises dapagliflozin, metformin, and sitagliptin as active pharmaceutical ingredients. This medication is intended for use in conjunction with a controlled diet and regular exercise to optimize glycemic control.

Dapasach Ms Tablet functions by enhancing the body's utilization of insulin, thereby contributing to lower blood glucose levels. It can be administered with or without food, preferably at a consistent time each day. The precise dosage will be determined by a healthcare professional, and discontinuation should only occur under medical guidance to prevent potential increases in blood sugar and associated complications such as kidney damage or vision impairment.

Common adverse effects may include urinary tract infections, nasal congestion, sore throat, and upper respiratory tract infections. Adequate fluid intake is crucial to mitigate dehydration. Some individuals may experience genital fungal infections, which can be managed with appropriate hygiene.

Prior to initiation, patients should inform their physician about any pre-existing kidney or liver conditions, urinary tract infections, or concurrent diuretic use. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult a doctor before use. Alcohol consumption should be limited due to increased risk of side effects.
