Xigduo XR 30 Tablets
DESCRIPTION
Xigduo XR is a dual-action oral antidiabetic medication formulated to help improve glycemic control, lower HbA1c levels, and provide cardiovascular and metabolic support in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two complementary mechanisms of action: Dapagliflozin, a Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, and Metformin Hydrochloride Extended-Release, a biguanide that reduces hepatic glucose production and enhances insulin sensitivity, available across three therapeutic strength combinations: 5 mg/500 mg, 10 mg/500 mg, and 10 mg/1000 mg.
