Diapride DM 2 Forte Tablet

Description

Diapride DM 2 Forte Tablet is a triple combination anti-diabetic medicine formulated for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It combines Dapagliflozin (10mg), Glimepiride (2mg), and Metformin (1000mg) — three potent agents that work synergistically to maintain optimal blood glucose levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

• Dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, helps lower blood sugar by promoting the removal of excess glucose through urine.

• Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin, improving the body’s ability to utilize glucose.

• Metformin, a biguanide, reduces glucose production in the liver and enhances insulin sensitivity, thereby improving glucose uptake by tissues.

This combination targets multiple pathways of glucose control, making it ideal for patients not adequately controlled with dual therapy. It also helps prevent long-term complications such as neuropathy, nephropathy, cardiovascular issues, and retinopathy.

How to Use:
