उपयोग
PAFAGOLD M 500 is an oral antidiabetic combination medicine marketed by Steris Healthcare. It contains Dapagliflozin 10 mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg, two active ingredients that work through complementary mechanisms to support blood glucose management in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Dapagliflozin 10 mg belongs to the sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor class. It helps lower blood glucose levels by reducing glucose reabsorption in the kidneys, allowing excess glucose to be eliminated through urine. Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg belongs to the biguanide class of antidiabetic medicines. It helps reduce glucose production in the liver and improves the body's response to insulin. This combination may be prescribed when a healthcare professional determines that both medicines are suitable for an individual's diabetes treatment plan. Dapagliflozin may also provide additional heart or kidney benefits in certain eligible patients, depending on their medical condition and approved indications. PAFAGOLD M 500 should be used only under medical supervision. Its suitability and dosage depend on the patient's blood glucose levels, kidney function, medical history, current medicines, and response to treatment. Regular monitoring, dietary measures, and physical activity remain important components of diabetes care.
