Diapride DM 2 Tablet

Description

Diapride DM 2 Tablet is a combination anti-diabetic medicine used for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It contains three active ingredients — Dapagliflozin (10mg), Glimepiride (2mg), and Metformin (500mg) — that work through complementary mechanisms to provide effective and sustained blood sugar control.

• Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that helps the kidneys eliminate excess glucose through urine.

• Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea that stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, helping the body utilize glucose efficiently.

• Metformin is a biguanide that decreases glucose production in the liver and enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

Together, these ingredients not only control fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels but also help prevent diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, nerve disorders, heart disease, and vision problems.

This combination is particularly beneficial for patients whose blood glucose levels are not controlled adequately with single or dual therapy.
