(Dapagliflozin and Metformin Hydrochloride)

WHAT IS XIGDUO?

XIGDUO is a combination tablet. It contains dapagliflozin and metformin hydrochloride. Both these drugs are used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. They are taken orally and help to reduce blood glucose levels.

HOW DOES XIGDUO WORK?

XIGDUO contains dapagliflozin. Dapagliflozin is a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. It reduces the amount of glucose that is reabsorbed from the kidneys and so lowers blood glucose concentrations in the blood.

XIGDUO contains metformin. Metformin is a biguanide and improves the body’s tolerance for glucose by reducing the absorption of glucose in the intestine, lowering glucose production in the liver, and improving the peripheral uptake and use of glucose.

WHAT ARE THE INDICATIONS FOR XIGDUO?

XIGDUO is indicated for the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is used together with diet control and exercise to improve blood glucose levels in adults.
