Dapaglyn L 10mg/5mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It helps to lower blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are not enough. This medicine is usually prescribed when single-drug therapy doesn’t give the desired results, especially in patients who need better control of their fasting and post-meal blood sugar.

This combination works in different ways to improve blood sugar levels and can also support weight control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications when used properly. However, it is not meant for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Your doctor will decide the right dose for you based on your health condition and other medications you may be taking. Always follow their advice and do not stop or change the dose without consulting them.

Dapaglyn L 10mg/5mg Tablet is used together to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. Dapagliflozin helps the kidneys remove excess glucose, while Linagliptin increases insulin production and reduces glucose production.

This Dapaglyn L tablet works in two ways:

• Dapagliflozin helps remove extra sugar from the body through urine.

• Linagliptin increases insulin release after meals and reduces sugar production by the liver.

Together, they help control both fasting and post-meal sugar levels.

Always inform your doctor about any medications you are taking, including:

• Other diabetes medicines like insulin or sulfonylureas (they may cause low blood sugar).

• Diuretics (water pills) as they may increase the risk of dehydration.
