Used For:

Elzanor 12.5/1000mg Tablet is typically used for managing Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It is a combination of two medications:

1. Dapagliflozin (12.5 mg): A Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that helps lower blood sugar by preventing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, promoting its excretion through urine.
2. Metformin (1000 mg): A biguanide that helps reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver and improves the body's sensitivity to insulin, allowing for better glucose uptake by cells.

This combination is effective in controlling blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications, and promoting weight loss.

Side Effects:

• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), especially when combined with other diabetes medications
• Nausea or upset stomach
• Diarrhea
• Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Increased urination
• Dizziness
• Dehydration (due to increased urination)
• Rare but serious: Lactic acidosis (from metformin), a potentially life-threatening condition

Precautions:

• Consult a healthcare professional if you have kidney or liver problems, as this medication can affect these organs.
• Avoid use if you have severe kidney disease or a history of lactic acidosis.
• Stay hydrated, as the medication can increase urination, leading to dehydration.
• Regularly monitor blood sugar levels to avoid hypoglycemia.
• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience any unusual symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, muscle pain, extreme fatigue, or severe abdominal discomfort (signs of lactic acidosis).
