Introduction
Dapaget V 10mg/100mg Tablet is a combination medicine that helps control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control. The medicine aids in the proper utilization of insulin, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. While it is effective in managing diabetes, it is important to monitor blood sugar levels regularly and be aware of potential side effects and interactions with other medications. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice and adjustments to your treatment plan.
Directions for Use
Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush, or break it. Dapaget V 10mg/100mg Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.
How it works
Dapaget V 10mg/100mg Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medications. Dapagliflozin increases urinary glucose excretion and reduces blood glucose levels. Vildagliptin reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver by raising insulin levels and decreasing the levels of glucagon (the hormone that increases blood glucose level).
Quick Tips
Your doctor will monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while taking this medication. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) may occur when taken along with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or on delaying/skipping a meal. Check your blood sugar levels and have a snack/sugar source for immediate relief. If you get unusually thirsty, pass urine more frequently, and feel tired, you should let your doctor know. These are signs of too much sugar in your blood, and your dose may need adjusting. Lifestyle changes like a low-fat and salt diet, exercise, not smoking, and cutting down on the amount of alcohol you usually drink may help this medicine work better.
