How Does It Work?

• Dapaglyn Sm Tablet contains a combination of sitagliptin, metformin, and dapagliflozin as active substances. Dapagliflozin reduces blood glucose levels by increasing urinary glucose excretion. Metformin reduces glucose absorption from food and glucose production by the liver, while increasing the body's response to insulin. Sitagliptin helps control blood sugar levels by increasing insulin release and signaling the liver to stop producing sugar when blood sugar levels are high.
