• Manages blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
• Often a step-up from single-drug therapy

Dapagliflozin lets the kidneys send extra sugar out in urine. Metformin reduces the liver's sugar production and helps the body use insulin better. The combination handles high sugar through two complementary paths.

Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually with a meal to ease stomach upset. Swallow whole with water. Drink enough fluids through the day.

• More frequent urination
• Genital or urinary infections
• Nausea, loose stools, metallic taste
• Mild thirst or dizziness

Mention kidney, liver, or infection history to your doctor. Avoid alcohol. Avoid during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed. Watch for low blood sugar if combined with other diabetes medicines.
