Xiga-Met 5/850mg Tablet is a combination anti-diabetic medicine containing Dapagliflozin 5mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 850mg. It is used for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus when diet, exercise, and single therapy alone are not sufficient to control blood sugar levels.

This dual-action medicine works in two ways: Dapagliflozin helps the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine, while Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Together, they provide effective and long-term blood sugar control.
