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.
- Dual-mechanism glycaemic control: SGLT2 inhibition + biguanide
- Lower metformin dose (850mg) versus the 1000mg variant — suitable for dose titration
- Supports cardiovascular and renal protection in T2DM patients
- Once-daily oral tablet for convenient dosing
- Prescription required — send via WhatsApp +92-320-5999650 or sales@derma.pk
- Authentic stock from General Medicines at Derma.pk
How to Use
Take one tablet orally once daily with or after a meal, at the same time each day, as prescribed. Do not crush or split. Monitor blood glucose and renal function regularly. Browse all Tablets & Capsules on Derma.pk.
