Dapavel GM Tablet ER is a triple-combination anti-diabetic medicine used to manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It combines Dapagliflozin (10mg), Glimepiride (1mg), and Metformin (1000mg) in an extended-release formulation, allowing for once-daily dosing and more stable blood sugar control.
-
Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that lowers blood sugar by blocking glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, promoting glucose excretion through urine.
-
Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, helping to lower blood sugar levels.
-
Metformin is a biguanide that decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity in the body.
This combination works synergistically to control fasting and postprandial glucose levels, supports weight management, and reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications such as cardiovascular diseases.
Uses:
-
Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
-
Maintains steady blood sugar levels throughout the day
-
Reduces the risk of diabetes-related cardiovascular complications

-
If a dose is missed, take it as soon as possible, unless it is near the next dose. Do not double doses.
-
Dosage may be adjusted depending on blood glucose levels and treatment response.
How to Use:
Take Dapavel GM Tablet ER at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood sugar control. Combine with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and routine blood glucose monitoring.

Product Overview
Dapawick-10 Tablet is an oral antidiabetic medicine manufactured by Elder Neutraceuticals Pvt. Ltd. It contains Dapagliflozin 10mg, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. The medicine lowers blood sugar by helping the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine.
In addition to managing blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, Dapagliflozin has proven cardiovascular and renal benefits. It may reduce the risk of worsening heart failure, decrease hospitalization due to heart failure, and help slow kidney disease progression in appropriate patients.
Dapawick-10 Tablet should only be taken under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
Key Ingredient
Uses of Dapawick-10 Tablet
Dapawick-10 Tablet is used for:
- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

How Dapawick-10 Tablet Works
Dapagliflozin belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class of medicines. It blocks the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 protein in the kidneys, preventing glucose from being reabsorbed into the bloodstream. As a result, excess glucose is eliminated through urine, helping lower blood sugar levels.
Besides improving blood glucose control, this mechanism also reduces the workload on the heart and kidneys, contributing to improved cardiovascular and renal outcomes in suitable patients.
