It is used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This triple combination works through different mechanisms to provide better blood sugar control when diet, exercise, and single or dual therapy are not sufficient.

How to use

Take it at the same times each day for best results. Maintain adequate fluid intake while on this medication. Never adjust the dose on your own. Always follow your doctor's or pharmacist's specific instructions regarding timing and dosage.

How it works

This combination works through three mechanisms: Metformin decreases sugar production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Vildagliptin increases insulin release from the pancreas when blood sugar is high and reduces excess sugar production. Dapagliflozin helps the kidneys remove excess sugar from the body through urine. Together, they provide comprehensive blood sugar control by targeting multiple pathways involved in diabetes.
