Glysit 10mg is an oral prescription medication primarily containing Dapagliflozin, which is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to a class of drugs known as sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. It helps improve blood sugar control in adults alongside standard diet and exercise.
How It Works
-
Glucose Elimination: Glysit blocks the SGLT2 protein in the kidneys.
-
Urinary Excretion: By preventing the kidneys from reabsorbing sugar back into the bloodstream, it flushes out excess glucose directly through your urine.
Common Side Effects
Because this medication filters glucose out through the urinary tract, it alters the local environment, commonly causing:
-
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
-
Genital yeast infections (thrush)
-
Increased frequency of urination or mild dehydration
-
Mild dizziness or low blood pressure
