Introduction
DAPLO L 10/5MG TABLET is a combination of Dapagliflozin and Linagliptin, which belongs to the group of medicines called Antidiabetic agents. It is used for the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are inadequately controlled on metformin monotherapy. Type II diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by abnormally high levels of glucose in the blood. It is caused by inadequate production of a hormone called insulin (produced by the pancreas to metabolize glucose) in the body or by inadequate sensitivity of body cells to the actions of insulin. Before starting management with DAPLO L 10/5MG TABLET, your doctor will assess your volume status and kidney function by conducting a blood test.

Uses
OF DAPLO L 10/5MG TABLETTo manage type II diabetes mellitus
How It Works
DAPLO L 10/5MG TABLET effectively controls blood glucose levels, where dapagliflozin works by inhibiting sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 protein in the kidneys and managing the reabsorption of glucose from the blood into the kidneys. As a result, more glucose is excreted in urine, which helps lower blood glucose levels in the body. Linagliptin works by inhibiting the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) enzyme (a protein that helps to degrade incretin hormones) and thus increasing the concentrations of incretin hormones, stimulating the release of insulin in a glucose-dependent manner, decreasing the levels of glucagon, and reducing glucose production in the liver.
