Description
Xiga Met 5/850mg Tablet — Dapagliflozin + Metformin for Type 2 Diabetes
Xiga Met 5/850mg Tablet is a prescription combination of dapagliflozin 5mg (SGLT2 inhibitor) and metformin 850mg (biguanide) indicated for glycaemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Dapagliflozin blocks sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in the kidneys, promoting urinary glucose excretion to lower blood sugar, while metformin reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis and enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity.
