What is Xigduo XR used for? 

Xigduo XR is a mixed medicine of dapagliflozin and metformin. Dapagliflozin belongs to a class of drugs called SGLT2 inhibitor, which prevents the kidney from reabsorbing glucose back to the blood. In contrast, metformin is a type of drug known as biguanides, which prevents glucose production in the liver. 

These two medicines are combined to work together to lower blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes. It should be used with the help of proper diet and exercise to control blood sugar.

Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body produces a small amount of insulin that is no longer effective or recognized by the body; if left untreated, it will build up a high level of sugar and lead to severe health problems. 

This drug works by restoring body response to the insulin produced by the pancreas and helps reduce sugar in the kidney, lessen sugar made by the liver, and lessen sugar intake thru the stomach and intestine.
