WHAT XIGDUO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
This medicine contains two different substances called dapagliflozin
and metformin. Both belong to a
group of medicines called oral anti-diabetics. These are medicines
taken by mouth for diabetes.
Xigduo is used for a type of diabetes called “type 2 diabetes” in
adult patients (aged 18 years and
older) and usually occurs when you are older. If you have type 2
diabetes, your pancreas does not
make enough insulin or your body is not able to use the insulin it
produces properly. This leads to a
high level of sugar (glucose) in your blood.

Dapagliflozin works by removing excess sugar from your body via your
urine and lowers the
amount of sugar in your blood. It can also help prevent heart disease.

Metformin works mainly by inhibiting glucose production in the liver.
To treat diabetes:

This medicine is taken in combination with diet and exercise.

This medicine is used if your diabetes cannot be controlled with other
medicines used to treat
diabetes.

Your doctor may ask you to take this medicine on its o
