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.
