What is Metformin Hydrochloride, Dapagliflozin?

Xigduo combines metformin hydrochloride and dapagliflozin for type 2 diabetes management. This oral medication helps control blood sugar levels when diet and exercise are insufficient. Ideal for adults seeking dual-action glucose regulation. Short-term use under medical supervision recommended.

What is Metformin Hydrochloride, Dapagliflozin used for?

Xigduo is prescribed to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It combines two active ingredients: metformin, which reduces glucose production in the liver, and dapagliflozin, which helps the kidneys remove glucose from the blood. This combination supports better glycemic management alongside diet and exercise. It is not intended for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

What are the side effects of Metformin Hydrochloride, Dapagliflozin?

Users may experience improved energy levels and reduced sugar cravings as blood glucose stabilizes. Some report minor digestive changes when starting the medication, which often lessen over time. Regular monitoring helps assess individual response and tolerance to the combination therapy.

What does Metformin Hydrochloride, Dapagliflozin interact with?
