Medicinal Benefits

It exhibits a nonpancreatic effect to reduce blood glucose levels without increasing insulin secretion. It is also known as an insulin sensitizer as it increases the effects of insulin. Metformin is considered a unique antidiabetic drug since it does not cause hypoglycemia (lowered blood sugar levels). Dapagliflozin belongs to the class of gliflozins. It works by reducing blood sugar levels by eliminating excess sugars from the body through urine. Selga-M Tablet also reduces the risk of heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Selga-M Tablet may be advised with or without other medications along with diet and exercise to control blood sugar levels.
