Mechanism of Action

Dapagliflozin:
Dapagliflozin works by blocking a protein called SGLT2 in the kidneys. This protein normally helps the body reabsorb sugar back into the blood. By blocking SGLT2, Dapagliflozin allows excess sugar to be removed through urine. This helps lower blood sugar levels and may also support mild weight reduction and blood pressure control.

Sitagliptin:
Sitagliptin works by increasing the levels of natural hormones called incretins. These hormones help the body release more insulin after meals and reduce the amount of sugar made by the liver. This results in better control of blood sugar levels, especially after eating.

Combined Effect:
Together, Dapagliflozin and Sitagliptin help control blood sugar in two different ways—one by removing excess sugar from the body and the other by improving insulin response. This dual action provides better and more stable blood sugar control throughout the day.
