Daplozmet 5/850mg Tablets

Daplozmet 5/850mg Tablets, made by Highnoon Laboratories Ltd, is a two-in-one diabetes medicine. Its active ingredient is Dapagliflozin + Metformin 5/850mg, and it is used for type 2 diabetes. Pack size: 14 tablets.

Uses of Daplozmet 5/850mg Tablets

Daplozmet 5/850mg Tablets is used to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when metformin alone does not give enough control, or to replace taking the two medicines as separate tablets. It is used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise. Dapagliflozin may also offer some protection for the heart and kidneys in people with diabetes.

How Daplozmet 5/850mg Tablets works

Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that stops the kidneys from reabsorbing some of the sugar filtered from the blood, so the extra sugar is passed out in the urine. Metformin reduces the amount of sugar the liver releases and helps the body respond better to its own insulin.

Possible side effects

Some people notice side effects with Daplozmet 5/850mg Tablets, especially early on. The more common ones are:

• Genital fungal infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Nausea, diarrhoea or stomach pain
• Passing more urine than usual
• Metallic taste

Seek urgent help for vomiting, stomach pain, fast or deep breathing, unusual sleepiness or weakness, which can signal ketoacidosis or lactic acidosis even when blood sugar is not very high. Also get help for pain, redness or swelling in the genital area with fever.

Precautions and warnings

• Take it with meals and drink enough fluids.
• If you become dehydrated from vomiting, diarrhoea or fever, contact your doctor, as you may need to pause it.
• Tell your doctor before any surgery or X-ray scan with contrast dye, and limit alcohol.
• Let your doctor know if you have kidney or liver disease, as regular kidney tests are needed.
• It is not used for type 1 diabetes and should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
