Benefits of Corbis D 10mg/5mg Tablet
Dapagliflozin helps the body clear extra salt and water through urine, which lightens the load on the heart and also lowers blood sugar. Bisoprolol slows the heartbeat and reduces how forcefully the heart contracts. Together they support heart function, help manage blood pressure and may lower cardiovascular risk, while a single tablet is simpler to remember than two.

How to use Corbis D 10mg/5mg Tablet
Take one tablet once a day with water, at the same time each day, as directed by your doctor. Swallow it whole. Drink enough fluids, especially in hot weather, and do not stop the tablet suddenly without medical advice.
How Corbis D 10mg/5mg Tablet works
Dapagliflozin blocks the SGLT2 transporter in the kidneys, so more glucose and sodium leave the body in urine; this lowers blood sugar and reduces fluid load on the heart. Bisoprolol blocks beta-1 receptors in the heart, slowing the heart rate and easing the force of each beat.

Frequently asked questions
Will Corbis D cause low blood sugar?
On its own it is unlikely to, but the risk rises when it is combined with insulin or other blood-sugar-lowering medicines.
Are there any dietary restrictions?
There is no strict diet, but a balanced, fibre-rich diet helps, and alcohol should be limited or avoided.
Can pregnant or breastfeeding women take it?
Only after speaking to a doctor, because it may pose a risk to the baby.
Why am I passing urine more often?
Dapagliflozin removes extra sugar and water through urine. Drink adequate fluids and tell your doctor if you feel dizzy or very dry.
