Dapazol S 10/100 Tab is used to treat type-2 diabetes mellitus. It contains Dapagliflozin and Sitagliptin. Dapagliflozin lowers blood glucose levels and increases glucose excretion in the urine. By improving insulin levels and lowering glucagon levels (the hormone that raises blood glucose levels), sitagliptin decreases the amount of glucose the liver produces. Thus, it helps control blood sugar levels. Common side effects of this medicine include diarrhoea, hypoglycaemia, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
