How Damita M Products work
Dapagliflozin + Metformin is a combination of two antidiabetic medicines: Dapagliflozin + Metformin1 and Dapagliflozin + Metformin2. Dapagliflozin + Metformin1 works by removing excess sugar (glucose) from your body through urine. Dapagliflozin + Metformin2 works by lowering sugar production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from intestines and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin. Together, they provide better control of blood sugar.
