Glyfloz 5 Tablet

Glyfloz 5 Tablet is an oral diabetes medicine that contains dapagliflozin 5 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class and is used to help lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. In some patients, dapagliflozin is also prescribed to help reduce the risk of heart failure-related hospitalization and to support kidney protection when a clinician feels it is appropriate. Glyfloz 5 Tablet is taken by mouth and is designed for regular daily use as part of a broader diabetes care plan.

How it works: Dapagliflozin helps the kidneys remove extra glucose from the blood by passing more sugar into the urine. As a tablet, Glyfloz 5 Tablet is swallowed whole so the medicine can be absorbed and work throughout the day after each dose.

Glyfloz 5 Tablet provides dapagliflozin 5 mg per tablet, which is a lower-strength tablet that may suit patients who need a gentler starting dose or a maintenance dose chosen by their doctor. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this tablet represents the exact strength available and should be used only as prescribed for the specific goal your clinician has in mind.

• Type 2 diabetes blood sugar control
• Adjunct to diet and exercise
• Heart failure risk reduction in selected patients
• Kidney protection in selected patients

• Swallow Glyfloz 5 Tablet whole with water; do not crush, chew, or split it unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Take it once daily at about the same time each day to help you remember.
• You can take Glyfloz 5 Tablet with or without food.
• Drink enough fluids during the day, especially if you sweat a lot or are at risk of dehydration.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions closely, because the right schedule depends on your blood sugar control and other medicines.

Each Glyfloz 5 Tablet contains dapagliflozin 5 mg. The medicine is commonly taken once daily, and the exact dose and whether it should be continued, increased, or adjusted is decided by a doctor based on your condition, kidney function, and response. Do not take more than the amount prescribed for you; taking extra tablets does not make it work better and may raise the risk of side effects.

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