DIApride DM 10mg/1mg/500mg Tablet

Description

Diapride DM Tablet is a triple combination anti-diabetic medicine used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It contains Dapagliflozin (10mg), Glimepiride (1mg), and Metformin (500mg) — three agents that act via different mechanisms to control high blood sugar levels and improve glycemic balance.

• Dapagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) helps the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine.

• Glimepiride (a sulfonylurea) increases insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells.

• Metformin (a biguanide) reduces liver glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity.

Together, they provide comprehensive control of fasting and post-meal blood sugar, reduce insulin resistance, and help prevent diabetes-related complications such as nerve damage, kidney issues, heart disease, and vision problems.

This fixed-dose combination is ideal for patients who require multi-drug therapy after inadequate response to monotherapy or dual therapy.
