Dapaford 10 mg Tablet

Dapaford 10 mg Tablet contains 10 mg of dapagliflozin in each tablet. It belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class of medicines and is used to help lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Depending on the person’s medical needs, it may also be prescribed to help reduce the risk of certain heart and kidney complications.

How it works: Dapagliflozin works by helping the kidneys pass extra glucose into the urine instead of keeping it in the blood. As a tablet, Dapaford 10 mg Tablet is swallowed whole and then absorbed so the medicine can start working through the day.

Dapaford 10 mg Tablet is a full-strength dapagliflozin tablet and is not a lower starter strength. Because 10 mg is the standard daily tablet used in many treatment plans, a doctor may choose it when they want the patient to receive the usual maintenance dose rather than a lower dose form. It may be selected for people whose blood sugar, heart, or kidney goals warrant this dose after medical assessment.
