Product introduction
Gluxit M 10 Tablet ER combines two medicines that tackle high blood sugar from different directions. Dapagliflozin helps the kidneys flush out surplus glucose through urine, while extended-release Metformin steadily reduces how much sugar the liver produces. Together they are prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes whose sugar levels are not controlled well enough on a single medicine. Because it is an extended-release formulation, it is designed to release its dose gradually over the day.
Storage: Store below 30°C, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

How Gluxit M 10 Tablet ER works
Dapagliflozin blocks a kidney transporter (SGLT2) that normally reabsorbs glucose back into the blood, so excess sugar exits through urine instead,Metformin cuts down glucose output from the liver and slows glucose absorption in the gut,Metformin also makes the body's own cells more responsive to insulin, helping muscles and tissues use sugar more efficiently

Frequently asked questions
Can Gluxit M 10 Tablet ER be used for type 1 diabetes?
No, it is meant only for type 2 diabetes. Using it in type 1 diabetes can raise the risk of a serious complication called diabetic ketoacidosis.
Does this tablet make me urinate more often?
Yes, because Dapagliflozin works by pushing extra sugar out through urine, increased urination is common and can lead to dehydration if fluids aren't replaced.
Why might I get more urinary or yeast infections on this medicine?
Higher sugar content in urine creates a favourable environment for bacteria and yeast, which is why genital and urinary infections are a known side effect.
Can long-term use affect vitamin B12 levels?
Yes, prolonged Metformin use can lower vitamin B12 absorption over time, so periodic blood tests are advisable.
Should this be taken before or after food?
It is generally taken with or right after a meal, which helps reduce stomach upset from the Metformin component.
