🇮🇳 dpo 5mg tablet के बारे में (Hindi Summary)

उपयोग: यह दवा डैपाग्लिफ्लोज़िन 5 मिलीग्राम युक्त एक टैबलेट है, जिसका उपयोग टाइप 2 डायबिटीज में ब्लड शुगर को नियंत्रित करने के लिए किया जाता है। यह दवा किडनी में ग्लूकोज के पुनर्अवशोषण को कम करके अतिरिक्त शर्करा को पेशाब के माध्यम से बाहर निकालने में मदद करती है। इसके अलावा, यह हृदय विफलता और क्रोनिक किडनी रोग वाले मरीजों में अस्पताल में भर्ती होने का खतरा कम करने और किडनी की कार्यक्षमता को बनाए रखने में भी सहायक है। यह दवा डॉक्टर के परामर्श के बिना नहीं लेनी चाहिए।

साइड इफेक्ट्स: इस दवा के सामान्य दुष्प्रभावों में जननांगों में फंगल संक्रमण, मूत्र मार्ग में संक्रमण और पेशाब की मात्रा बढ़ना शामिल हैं। कुछ लोगों को चक्कर आना, निम्न रक्तचाप या हल्की निर्जलीकरण का अनुभव हो सकता है। दुर्लभ मामलों में डायबिटिक कीटोएसिडोसिस हो सकता है, जिसके लक्षण जैसे मतली, उल्टी, पेट दर्द, सांस लेने में कठिनाई हो सकते हैं। अगर आपको जननांग क्षेत्र में गंभीर दर्द, लालिमा या सूजन के साथ बुखार हो, तो तुरंत डॉक्टर से मिलें।

सुरक्षा सलाह: इस दवा को डॉक्टर के बताए अनुसार ही लें, आमतौर पर दिन में एक बार सुबह के समय, भोजन के साथ या बिना। पर्याप्त पानी पिएं ताकि शरीर में पानी की कमी न हो। जननांगों की सफाई का ध्यान रखें ताकि संक्रमण से बचाव हो सके। अपने ब्लड शुगर की नियमित जांच करते रहें। अगर आपको मतली, उल्टी, पेट दर्द या सांस लेने में तकलीफ हो, तो तुरंत डॉक्टर को बताएं। शराब का सेवन न करें क्योंकि इससे निर्जलीकरण और लैक्टिक एसिडोसिस का खतरा बढ़ सकता है। सर्जरी या डेंटल प्रक्रिया से पहले अपने डॉक्टर को इस दवा के बारे में जरूर बताएं।

🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionThis medicine is rapidly absorbed after oral administration, reaching peak plasma concentrations within 1 to 2 hours in the fasted state. The absolute oral bioavailability is approximately 78%. Food does not significantly affect the overall exposure to the medicine, so it can be taken with or without food.

DistributionThis medicine is approximately 91% bound to plasma proteins. It is widely distributed in the body, but it does not distribute into red blood cells. The volume of distribution is approximately 118 liters.

Protein BindingApproximately 91% bound to plasma proteins.

MetabolismThis medicine is primarily metabolized by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 (UGT1A9) to an inactive metabolite, dapagliflozin 3-O-glucuronide. Cytochrome P450 enzymes play a minor role in its metabolism.

Half-LifeThe terminal elimination half-life is approximately 12.9 hours.

ExcretionThis medicine and its metabolites are primarily excreted in the urine, with about 75% of the dose recovered in urine and about 21% in feces. The majority of the dose is excreted as the inactive glucuronide metabolite.

BioavailabilityThe absolute oral bioavailability is approximately 78%.

Onset of ActionThe glucose-lowering effect begins within a few hours after the first dose, but the full therapeutic effect on blood sugar control may take several days to weeks to become apparent.

Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations are reached within 1 to 2 hours after oral administration in the fasted state.

Duration of ActionThe glucose-lowering effect lasts for approximately 24 hours, allowing for once-daily dosing.

How It Works

This medicine selectively inhibits sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) in the proximal tubules of the kidneys. By blocking this transporter, it reduces the reabsorption of filtered glucose and sodium, leading to increased urinary glucose excretion and mild osmotic diuresis. This effect lowers blood glucose levels independently of insulin secretion. The accompanying natriuresis and osmotic diuresis contribute to reductions in blood pressure and body weight. Additionally, this medicine may improve cardiac and renal outcomes through mechanisms that are not fully understood, possibly involving improved renal oxygenation, reduced inflammation, and favorable metabolic shifts.

Mechanism Steps

1

Inhibition of SGLT2 in the kidney: This medicine binds to and inhibits SGLT2 proteins located in the proximal tubules of the kidneys, blocking the reabsorption of glucose from the filtered blood.

2

Increased urinary glucose excretion: Because glucose is not reabsorbed, it is excreted in the urine, which lowers blood glucose levels.

3

Osmotic diuresis and natriuresis: The presence of glucose in the urine draws water into the urine, increasing urine output and promoting sodium excretion, which can reduce blood pressure and body weight.

4

Cardiac and renal protection: The combined effects on glucose, fluid, and sodium balance, along with other metabolic changes, contribute to reduced risk of heart failure hospitalization and slowed progression of kidney disease.

Renal Impairment	For patients with mild to moderate renal impairment (eGFR 45 to less than 90 mL/min/1.73 m2), no dose adjustment is needed. For patients with moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to less than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2), the dose may be limited to 5 mg once daily for glycemic control, but for heart failure and chronic kidney disease, 10 mg once daily may be used. This medicine is not recommended for patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2) or on dialysis.
Hepatic Impairment	No dose adjustment is recommended for patients with mild or moderate hepatic impairment. The use of this medicine in patients with severe hepatic impairment is not recommended due to limited data.
