Dapaford T 5mg/20mg Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medications. Dapagliflozin increases urinary glucose excretion and reduces blood glucose levels. Teneligliptin works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreasing the release of a hormone (glucagon) that raises blood sugar levels. This reduces fasting and post meal sugar levels.

Monitor your blood sugar regularly while taking this medicine. Inform your doctor immediately if you experience rapid or deep breathing, muscle pain, fatigue, and drowsiness. Lifestyle changes like low sugar diet, exercise, losing weight, not smoking, and cutting down on alcohol may help this medication work better.
