Dapwiz Plus Xr 5mg/500mg Tablet (dapagliflozin + Metformin Xr) for Type 2 Diabetes
Description
Dapwiz Plus XR 5mg/500mg Tablet – Once-Daily Dapagliflozin + Metformin XR Combination
Dapwiz Plus XR 5mg/500mg Tablet is a prescription oral antidiabetic medicine combining dapagliflozin 5mg (an SGLT2 inhibitor) with extended-release metformin 500mg. It offers the same proven dual mechanism as other dapagliflozin + metformin XR brands, formulated as a convenient once-daily tablet with smooth extended release to improve stomach tolerability.
This lower-strength XR combination is suitable for adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus initiating dual therapy or for patients sensitive to immediate-release metformin GI effects. Dapagliflozin removes excess glucose via the kidneys; XR metformin reduces hepatic glucose output and improves insulin sensitivity over the day.
Important cautions: hold Dapwiz Plus XR during acute illness, dehydration, vomiting, before contrast-imaging procedures, or planned surgery (sick-day rules). Watch for euglycaemic DKA (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fast breathing) and rare lactic acidosis. Not recommended if eGFR < 45 mL/min/1.73m². Swallow XR tablets whole — do not crush, split or chew.
Use under medical supervision with diet, exercise, and periodic monitoring of blood sugar, kidney function and vitamin B12. See related options in our general medicines collection.
