Description
Xiga 5mg Tablet – Dapagliflozin for Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Failure and CKD
Xiga 5mg is a prescription SGLT2 inhibitor containing Dapagliflozin 5mg. It is used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), heart failure, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The 5mg dose is typically used as a starting or conservative dose — particularly for patients with CKD or heart failure where dosing flexibility is needed. Like the 10mg formulation, it works by blocking renal glucose reabsorption to lower blood sugar and provides meaningful cardiovascular and renal protective effects.
- Controls blood sugar in type 2 diabetes via renal glucose excretion
- Reduces risk of heart failure hospitalisation and cardiovascular death
- Slows CKD progression — renal protective beyond glycaemic control
- Lower starting dose for patients with specific clinical requirements
- Once-daily oral dosing — suitable for long-term management
How to Use
Take one Xiga 5mg tablet once daily, with or without food. Swallow whole with water. Stay well hydrated and monitor blood glucose, kidney function (eGFR), and blood pressure as directed by your doctor.
Standard dose available: Xiga 10mg. Browse all General Medicines at Derma.pk.
