Xigduo XR 10/1000 mg (Xigduo XR 10/1000 mg) is a modern medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, as it combines two active substances: Dapagliflozin and Metformin in a single extended-release tablet, which helps effectively control blood sugar levels throughout the day.
What is Xigduo XR medication?
Xigduo XR is a combination medication containing:
Dapagliflozin

The XR or Extended Release technology means the medication is gradually released in the body, helping to achieve continuous blood sugar control and reduce gastrointestinal disturbances.
How does Xigduo XR 10/1000 work?
