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. [1, 2]
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
