Dapanox 10 mg Tablet

Dapanox 10 mg Tablet is a prescription diabetes medicine that contains 10 mg of dapagliflozin in each tablet. It belongs to the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class, which helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Dapanox 10 mg Tablet may also be used in some patients to reduce the risk of hospitalization for heart failure and to help protect kidney function, depending on your doctor’s treatment plan. This tablet is taken by mouth and is meant to be used along with diet, exercise, and other medicines when prescribed.

How it works: Dapanox 10 mg Tablet works by helping your kidneys remove extra glucose through the urine instead of keeping it in the bloodstream. In tablet form, the 10 mg dose is absorbed after swallowing and provides once-daily SGLT2 inhibition to help improve blood sugar control.

Dapanox 10 mg Tablet is the standard full-strength tablet for dapagliflozin therapy in many adults, so it is not usually a starting strength that gets built up from lower doses. A doctor may choose Dapanox 10 mg Tablet when a patient needs the full 10 mg dose for blood sugar control or for approved heart and kidney benefits. Because it is a higher-strength tablet, it should be used only when a clinician has already assessed that this dose is appropriate.

• Type 2 diabetes blood sugar control
• Added treatment with diet and exercise
• Lowering risk of hospitalization for heart failure in selected patients
• Kidney protection in appropriate patients
• Combination therapy with other diabetes medicines

• Swallow Dapanox 10 mg Tablet whole with water; do not chew, crush, or split it unless your doctor tells you to.
• Take it once daily at about the same time each day.

Each Dapanox 10 mg Tablet contains 10 mg of dapagliflozin. This strength is commonly taken once daily, and the maximum usual daily amount for dapagliflozin is 10 mg unless your prescriber directs otherwise. Your doctor decides the right schedule based on your diabetes control, kidney function, and other medicines.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
