Drug Details
Xigduo XR is a medication that combines two active ingredients, dapagliflozin and metformin, to manage type 2 diabetes in individuals aged 10 and above. It should be used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise to effectively control high blood sugar levels. This control is crucial in preventing complications such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve issues, amputations, and sexual dysfunction. Additionally, it can reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. Xigduo XR also offers benefits for people with type 2 diabetes who suffer from chronic kidney disease or heart failure. It helps lower the risk of heart-related death and decreases the likelihood of hospitalization due to heart failure. The medication works by enhancing the body's response to insulin, increasing the kidneys' removal of sugar, reducing sugar production in the liver, and decreasing sugar absorption from the stomach and intestines. It is taken orally once a day, preferably in the morning with food to minimize stomach upset. Potential side effects include yeast infections, cold symptoms, and urinary tract infections. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

However, weight loss effects can vary among individuals, and it is important to discuss any concerns or side effects with a healthcare provider.
