Xiga-Met 5/1000mg Tablet is a combination anti-diabetic medicine containing Dapagliflozin 5mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 1000mg. It is used for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus when diet, exercise, and single-drug therapy are not enough to control blood sugar levels effectively.

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