Product Description
DAPACOSE M FORTE 5/1000 is a fixed-dose combination medication that combines Metformin Hydrochloride and Dapagliflozin to manage Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin Hydrochloride helps lower blood glucose levels by reducing glucose production in the liver and increasing glucose uptake by muscles. Dapagliflozin works by inhibiting glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, thereby increasing urinary glucose excretion.
