Product Information

Dapaflunic Trio 500 is a sodium-glucose contransporter 2 inhibitor. It is used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. Dapagliflozin helps remove excess glucose through urine, while Metformin lowers glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Sitagliptin enhances body’s natural ability to lower blood sugar level by increasing insulin release and decreasing glucagon levels. Together, these three agents work through different mechanisms to provide effective glycemic control, especially when diet, exercise, and monotherapy are insufficient.

Uses

It is used in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Side Effects

Some common side effects include Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, flatulence.

How to Use

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Dapaflunic Trio 500 Tablet may be taken with or without food, but it is better to take it at a fixed time.

How it Works

Dapaflunic Trio 500 Tablet is a combination of three antidiabetic medicines. Dapagliflozin increases urinary glucose excretion and reduces blood glucose levels. Metformin decreases the amount of glucose you absorb from your food and the amount of glucose made by the liver. Metformin also increases the body's response to insulin, a natural substance that controls the amount of glucose in the blood. Sitagliptin helps control blood sugar levels by increasing substances (incretins) in the body that make the pancreas release more insulin. It also signals the liver to stop producing sugar (glucose) when there is too much sugar in the blood.
