Medication name: Divinus Dapagliflozin 5 mg Tablets \u00d7 30
\nDrug class: Sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor \/ Oral antidiabetic agent<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to control blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
\nIt helps the body remove excess sugar through urine, improving overall blood sugar control.
\nDivinus may also be prescribed to reduce the risk of heart failure and protect kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular or renal disease.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, dapagliflozin, works by blocking the SGLT2 (sodium-glucose co-transporter 2) proteins in the kidneys.
\nThese proteins are responsible for reabsorbing glucose back into the bloodstream.
\nBy inhibiting them, dapagliflozin allows excess glucose to be excreted through urine, lowering blood sugar levels naturally and independently of insulin action.
\nThis mechanism also helps reduce body weight and blood pressure in some patients.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nThe usual adult dose is 5 mg once daily, taken in the morning, with or without food.
\nYour doctor may increase the dose to 10 mg once daily if additional blood sugar control is needed.
\nSwallow the tablet whole with water \u2014 do not crush or chew.
\nContinue taking it regularly at the same time each day for consistent results.
\nMaintain proper hydration during treatment, especially in hot weather or when exercising.<\/p>\n
Side effects:
\nDivinus is generally well tolerated.
\nCommon mild side effects include increased urination, thirst, or mild urinary tract or genital infections.
\nOccasionally, dizziness or dehydration may occur due to fluid loss.
\nRare but serious side effects include ketoacidosis (unusual tiredness, nausea, vomiting, or shortness of breath) \u2014 seek medical attention immediately if these occur.<\/p>\n
Precautions:
\nDo not use if allergic to dapagliflozin or any of the ingredients.
\nAvoid use in patients with severe kidney disease, low blood pressure, or dehydration.
\nConsult your doctor before use if you have liver problems, urinary tract infections, or are taking diuretics.
\nNot intended for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
\nUse during pregnancy or breastfeeding only under medical supervision.<\/p>\n
