Glypass 10 mg Tablet

Glypass 10 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 10 mg of dapagliflozin in each tablet. It belongs to the sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class and is used to help lower blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Glypass 10 mg Tablet may also be used in some patients to reduce the risk of certain heart or kidney complications, depending on the doctor’s decision. It is sold as a strip/box of 10 tablets and is manufactured by Metabolica Lifecare Pvt. Ltd.

How it works: Dapagliflozin works by helping the kidneys remove extra glucose into the urine instead of keeping it in the bloodstream. Since Glypass 10 mg Tablet is an oral tablet, the medicine is absorbed after swallowing and then begins working through the body’s kidney pathway.

Glypass 10 mg Tablet is the full 10 mg strength of dapagliflozin, so it is not a low-dose starter tablet. Because there are no other strengths or forms of this brand listed here, this product represents the standard adult tablet strength that doctors may choose when a patient needs the 10 mg dose. A clinician may select Glypass 10 mg Tablet when a lower dose is not needed or after assessing that the 10 mg tablet is appropriate for the patient.
