What is Metformin Hydrochloride, Dapagliflozin?

Xigduo combines metformin hydrochloride and dapagliflozin for type 2 diabetes management. This oral medication helps control blood sugar levels alongside diet and exercise. It is prescribed when diet alone is insufficient. Always consult a healthcare provider before use.

What is Metformin Hydrochloride, Dapagliflozin used for?

Xigduo is used 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 therapy is typically prescribed when diet and exercise alone are not enough to manage blood sugar levels.

What are the side effects of Metformin Hydrochloride, Dapagliflozin?

Xigduo helps maintain steady blood sugar levels throughout the day by working in two different ways. Metformin reduces the amount of sugar absorbed from food and produced by the liver, while dapagliflozin causes the kidneys to remove sugar through urine. Users may experience improved energy levels and reduced sugar cravings as blood sugar stabilizes.

What precautions apply to Metformin Hydrochloride, Dapagliflozin?

Store Xigduo at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not use if the packaging is damaged or the medication shows signs of tampering. Always check the expiration date before use. If you experience unusual symptoms, contact a healthcare provider.

What does Metformin Hydrochloride, Dapagliflozin interact with?

Xigduo may interact with alcohol, certain diuretics, and medications that affect blood sugar levels. Combining it with alcohol can increase the risk of lactic acidosis, a rare but serious condition. Inform your doctor about all prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal supplements you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
