Dapasach Ms 10/500/100mg Strip Of 10 Tablets

Dapasach Ms Tablet is a combination medication indicated for the management of blood sugar levels in adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Its active ingredients are dapagliflozin, metformin, and sitagliptin. This medication is intended for use in conjunction with a structured diet and regular exercise regimen to optimize glycemic control.

Dapasach Ms Tablet functions by enhancing the body's utilization of insulin and reducing blood sugar levels. It can be administered with or without food, though consistent daily timing is recommended. The dosage should be determined by a healthcare professional, and discontinuation of the medication without medical guidance is not advised, as it may lead to elevated blood sugar and increased risk of complications such as kidney damage or vision impairment.

Common adverse effects include urinary tract infections, nasal congestion, sore throat, and upper respiratory tract infections. Adequate fluid intake is essential to prevent dehydration. Genital fungal infections may occur and can be managed with proper hygiene.

Prior to initiating treatment, inform your doctor about any pre-existing kidney or liver conditions, urinary tract infections, or current diuretic use. Medical consultation is necessary for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals. Alcohol consumption should be limited due to potential increases in side effect risk.

Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is required during treatment.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

• Dapasach Ms Tablet contains a combination of sitagliptin, metformin, and dapagliflozin as active substances. Dapagliflozin reduces blood glucose levels by increasing urinary glucose excretion.
