Dapavel 10mg Tablet

Description

Dapavel 10mg Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medication used for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It contains Dapagliflozin (10mg), a member of the SGLT2 inhibitor class (Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 inhibitors), which lowers blood sugar levels by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose from the bloodstream through urine.

By blocking glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, Dapavel 10mg helps to reduce high blood sugar levels, supports weight loss, and may also help lower blood pressure. It can be prescribed as a monotherapy (alone) or in combination with other anti-diabetic drugs such as Metformin, Glimepiride, or Insulin to achieve better glycemic control.

In addition to improving glucose control, Dapagliflozin has shown cardiovascular and renal protective effects, making it beneficial for diabetic patients with heart or kidney-related risks.
