Dapanorm 10 Tablet

Dapanorm 10 Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains dapagliflozin 10 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class, which is used to help manage blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may also be prescribed for certain adults to help reduce the risk of heart failure-related problems and protect kidney function, depending on the patient’s condition. Dapanorm 10 Tablet should be used only under a clinician’s guidance as part of a broader treatment plan.

How it works: Dapagliflozin in Dapanorm 10 Tablet helps the kidneys pass extra glucose into the urine instead of keeping it in the blood. Because it is a tablet taken by mouth, it provides a simple once-daily way to lower blood sugar and support approved heart or kidney benefits when prescribed.

Dapanorm 10 Tablet is the full 10 mg tablet strength, which is commonly used when a doctor wants the standard adult dapagliflozin dose rather than a lower starting strength. Because this is not a low-dose starter form, it is generally suited for patients whose clinician has already decided that 10 mg once daily is appropriate. The tablet form is swallowed whole and is chosen for once-daily convenience and steady day-to-day use.

• Type 2 diabetes blood sugar control
• Add-on treatment with diet and exercise

Each Dapanorm 10 Tablet contains dapagliflozin 10 mg.
