Dapagliflozin

Dapagliflozin is a prescription medication that belongs to a class of drugs called SGLT2 inhibitors. It is specifically designed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults. Dapagliflozin helps to lower blood sugar levels by promoting the excretion of excess glucose through urine. It is often used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise to effectively manage blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Why Choose Dapagliflozin?

Dapagliflozin works by inhibiting the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) protein, which is responsible for reabsorbing glucose in the kidneys. By blocking the action of SGLT2, the medication helps the kidneys to remove excess glucose from the body through urine. This process helps lower blood sugar levels and manage type 2 diabetes more effectively.

How to use Dapagliflozin?

Dapagliflozin is available in tablet form and should be taken orally once daily, typically in the morning, with or without food. The dosage of Dapagliflozin may vary depending on the patient’s medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications they may be taking. It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations and the instructions on the prescription label.

Important Safety Information

Before using Dapagliflozin, inform your healthcare provider if you have any allergies, kidney problems, liver disease, dehydration, low blood pressure, or a history of urinary tract infections. Dapagliflozin may interact with other medications, so inform your healthcare provider of all prescription and non-prescription medications you are currently taking.

Dapagliflozin is not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your healthcare provider for more information and guidance.
