Dapavel GM Tablet ER

Description

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.
