What is Xigduo?

Xigduo is a combination diabetes medication that contains dapagliflozin and metformin. It helps control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes by reducing glucose absorption and improving insulin sensitivity. This dual-action approach supports better glycemic control and may contribute to weight loss and cardiovascular benefits.

It is typically prescribed for patients who need additional blood sugar control when metformin alone is not enough.

Why Buy Xigduo from Canada?

Many Americans are turning to Canadian pharmacies to purchase Xigduo due to the significant cost savings. Pharmaceutical pricing regulations in Canada keep medication prices lower than in the U.S., making it an attractive option for those without insurance or high deductibles.

How Does Xigduo Work?

Xigduo combines two diabetes medications:

• Dapagliflozin – An SGLT2 inhibitor that helps the kidneys remove excess sugar through urine.
• Metformin – A first-line diabetes medication that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity.

This combination provides effective blood sugar control, helping reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

Dosage and Administration

• Available strengths: 5 mg dapagliflozin / 850 mg metformin and 5 mg dapagliflozin / 1000 mg metformin.
• Typically taken once or twice daily with meals.
• Patients should follow their doctor's recommendations and undergo regular blood sugar monitoring.

Common Side Effects

• Frequent urination
• Increased risk of genital yeast infections
• Digestive issues (nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain)
• Low blood sugar (especially if combined with insulin or sulfonylureas)

Serious but rare side effects include lactic acidosis, dehydration, and kidney problems. Patients should report any unusual symptoms to their healthcare provider.

Drug Interactions

• Insulin and sulfonylureas may increase the risk of low blood sugar.
• Diuretics may increase dehydration risk.

Always consult your doctor before starting or stopping any medications.
