Dapaglyn LM 500mg Tablet is a combination medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It helps control blood sugar levels when diet, exercise, and a single medication are not enough. This tablet combines three different medicines that work in separate ways to lower your blood sugar and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications, such as kidney problems or nerve damage. It is not used to treat type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Always take this medicine under medical supervision for best results.

Dapaglyn LM 500mg Tablet is used to:

• Control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus

• Reduce the risk of long-term diabetes complications

• Support weight loss and improve blood pressure in some patients

This tablet works in three different ways to control blood sugar:

• Dapagliflozin helps remove excess sugar through urine.

• Linagliptin increases the release of insulin after meals and lowers sugar made by the liver.

• Metformin decreases sugar production in the liver and helps the body use insulin better.

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

This medicine may interact with:

• Diuretics (water pills): Can increase the risk of dehydration

• Insulin or other antidiabetic medicines: May cause low blood sugar

• Blood pressure medications: Can lower blood pressure further
