How Udapa-M Tablet ER Works
- Dapagliflozin (5mg):
Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 (sodium-glucose co-transporter 2) inhibitor. It works by blocking the reabsorption of glucose by the kidneys, allowing excess glucose to be excreted in the urine. This helps lower blood sugar levels. - Metformin (500mg):
Metformin helps manage blood sugar by:- Reducing glucose production in the liver.
- Slowing down the absorption of glucose from the intestines.
- Increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin, which helps in better utilization of available insulin.
Together, these two drugs work synergistically to improve glucose control and reduce the risk of diabetic complications.
