Daploz 5mg Tablet (dapagliflozin) for Type 2 Diabetes
Description
Daploz 5mg Tablet – Dapagliflozin SGLT2 Inhibitor for Type 2 Diabetes
Daploz 5mg Tablet is a prescription oral antidiabetic medicine containing dapagliflozin 5mg, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor used to improve glycaemic control in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It works in the kidneys by blocking glucose reabsorption, allowing excess sugar to be eliminated through urine and lowering blood glucose without relying on insulin secretion.
Daploz also offers cardiovascular and renal protective benefits in suitable patients, including reduced risk of heart-failure hospitalisation and slower progression of chronic kidney disease. It is weight-neutral to mild weight-reducing and has a low risk of hypoglycaemia when used alone.
Sick-day rules: hold Daploz during acute illness, dehydration, prolonged fasting, or before planned surgery and resume only when eating, drinking, and well. Watch for symptoms of euglycaemic diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) — nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fast breathing — even if blood sugar appears normal, and seek urgent care. Other cautions include genital mycotic infections, urinary tract infections, and volume depletion (especially with diuretics or in the elderly).
Daploz is not for Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Use under medical supervision with diet, exercise, and periodic monitoring of blood sugar and kidney function. Browse related options in our general medicines collection.
