Xigduo XR (Dapagliflozin and Metformin) is a prescription medication used primarily for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It combines two active ingredients: dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (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 patients who need additional glycemic control when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. It may also help with weight loss and has cardiovascular benefits. The extended-release formulation allows for once-daily dosing, enhancing patient compliance. As with any medication, it should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
