Glypass M 10 mg/500 mg Tablet

Glypass M 10 mg/500 mg Tablet is a prescription diabetes medicine that combines dapagliflozin 10 mg and metformin 500 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor + biguanide class and is used to help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, along with diet and exercise. Glypass M 10 mg/500 mg Tablet is not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Your clinician may use it alone or with other diabetes medicines when a stronger combined effect is needed.

How it works: Dapagliflozin helps the kidneys remove extra glucose through the urine, which lowers blood sugar levels over time. Metformin reduces the amount of sugar your liver makes and helps your body use insulin better, so the tablet works in two different ways to control type 2 diabetes.

Glypass M 10 mg/500 mg Tablet is the exact higher-strength tablet in this product line, pairing a full dapagliflozin dose with a moderate metformin dose in one tablet. Because it already contains 10 mg dapagliflozin, it is typically chosen for patients who need this stronger SGLT2 inhibitor amount and have been assessed for metformin tolerance, kidney function, and overall diabetes control. It is not a starter dose for everyone, and a doctor may select it when a lower-strength option would not be enough or when simplifying treatment into one tablet makes sense.

• Type 2 diabetes blood sugar control
• Adjunct to diet and exercise
• Combination therapy when one medicine is not enough
• May be used with other antidiabetic medicines as directed

• Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew it unless your doctor or pharmacist tells you otherwise.
• Take Glypass M 10 mg/500 mg Tablet exactly as prescribed, usually with a meal to help reduce stomach upset from metformin.
• Try to take it at the same time each day to keep your routine steady.
• Drink enough fluids, especially in hot weather or if you exercise, because dapagliflozin can increase urination.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.

Each Glypass M 10 mg/500 mg Tablet provides dapagliflozin 10 mg plus metformin 500 mg. Depending on your doctor’s plan, it is usually taken once daily, though some patients may be told to use it differently based on their diabetes regimen and tolerance. The maximum daily amount depends on the rest of your treatment and kidney function, so your prescriber decides the exact schedule for this 10 mg/500 mg strength.

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

Common side effects of Dapagliflozin + Metformin may include:

• Nausea, especially when starting treatment
• Diarrhea
• Stomach upset or abdominal pain
• Loss of appetite
• Increased urination
• Mild genital yeast infections
• Dehydration or feeling thirsty, which may be more noticeable with the 10 mg dapagliflozin strength

• Not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
• Use caution if you have kidney problems, because metformin and dapagliflozin both depend on kidney safety.
• You may need to stop it before surgery, major illness, or procedures with contrast dye if your clinician advises.
• Alcohol can raise the risk of lactic acidosis with metformin.
• This tablet can cause dehydration and low blood pressure, so stand up slowly and be careful with driving until you know how it affects you.
• Report genital itching, burning, discharge, or urinary symptoms quickly, since SGLT2 medicines can increase infection risk.
• Tell your doctor if you take insulin or a sulfonylurea, because blood sugar may drop too low when combined.

• Insulin and sulfonylureas may increase the risk of low blood sugar.
• Diuretics can raise the risk of dehydration and dizziness.
• Alcohol can increase the risk of metformin-related lactic acidosis.
• Iodinated contrast media used in some imaging tests may require temporary stopping.
