Dapacose Trio 10mg/500mg/100mg Tablet

Description

Uses

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Helps control high blood sugar levels
• May be prescribed when combination therapy is required
• Helps improve overall glycemic control along with diet and exercise

Key Benefits

• Helps lower blood glucose levels
• Dapagliflozin promotes removal of excess glucose through urine
• Metformin reduces glucose production by the liver and improves insulin sensitivity
• Sitagliptin helps increase insulin release when blood sugar is high
• Provides complementary blood-sugar-lowering effects through three different mechanisms

How Dapacose Trio Works

Dapagliflozin blocks SGLT2 in the kidneys, increasing the amount of glucose removed through urine.

Metformin reduces glucose production by the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin.

Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases the activity of incretin hormones, helping the pancreas release more insulin when blood sugar is elevated and reducing excess glucagon release.

Together, these medicines help maintain better blood glucose control.
