Xiga-Met 10mg/500mg Tablet is a combination anti-diabetic medicine containing Dapagliflozin 10mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg. It is used for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus when diet, exercise, and single medicine therapy are not enough to control blood sugar levels.

This medicine works through a dual mechanism: Dapagliflozin helps remove excess glucose through urine, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, helping maintain better long-term blood sugar control.
