How Dgson-V 10 Tablet SR works
Dapagliflozin is an SGLT-2 inhibitor that makes the kidneys pass extra glucose out in the urine, lowering blood sugar. Vildagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that raises insulin levels after meals and reduces glucagon, which cuts the amount of glucose released by the liver.

Frequently asked questions
What is Dgson-V 10 SR used for?
It is used in adults with type 2 diabetes to help control blood sugar, along with diet and exercise.
What does the SR in the name mean?
SR stands for sustained release. The tablet releases its medicine gradually, so it should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed.
Can it cause low blood sugar?
Yes, low blood sugar is the most common side effect, and the risk is higher if you also take other diabetes medicines, skip meals or drink alcohol.
Why do I need to drink more water?
One component makes the kidneys pass extra sugar and water in urine, so staying well hydrated helps prevent dehydration.
Can I stop taking it when my sugar is normal?
No. Normal readings usually mean the medicine is working. Stopping without medical advice can make your diabetes worse.
