Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

• Dapabite Vd Tablet contains a combination of vildagliptin and dapagliflozin as active ingredients. Vildagliptin indirectly enhances the activity of certain chemicals in the body that raise insulin levels following a meal. Dapagliflozin inhibits a specific protein in the kidneys known as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2), which is responsible for reabsorbing glucose (sugar) from urine back into the blood. This process facilitates the elimination of sugar through urine, thus lowering blood sugar levels.
