XIGDUO XR DAPAGLIFLOZIN 10/METFORMIN 1000MG TABS 30’S

Xigduo XR (Dapagliflozin and Metformin) is a prescription medication used primarily for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two active ingredients: dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, and metformin, a biguanide.

Dapagliflozin works by preventing the reabsorption of glucose in the kidneys, leading to increased glucose excretion in urine, which helps lower blood sugar levels. Metformin improves insulin sensitivity and decreases hepatic glucose production, further aiding in blood sugar control.

Xigduo XR is typically prescribed for adults who need better glycemic control when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. It can be used alone or in combination with other diabetes medications. Additionally, it may help with weight management and has cardiovascular benefits. Patients should be monitored for potential side effects, including urinary tract infections and gastrointestinal issues.
