What Is Xigduo Xr?
Xigduo XR (dapagliflozin-metformin) is a prescription medication used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It works by combining dapagliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor that causes the kidneys to remove excess glucose through urine, with metformin, a biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. With the right dose and ongoing monitoring, Xigduo XR can help lower HbA1c and support better long-term blood sugar control.

Is Online Xigduo Xr Treatment Right for You?
Xigduo XR may be appropriate for adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar is not adequately controlled by metformin or dapagliflozin alone. It is not indicated for type 1 diabetes or for patients with significantly impaired kidney function, and a physician will review your current eGFR and other labs before prescribing.
Because both components of Xigduo XR affect the kidneys and metabolic function, your provider will also consider your cardiovascular history, history of diabetic ketoacidosis, and any medications that may interact, including diuretics or other diabetes therapies.

Frequently asked questions
Xigduo XR is an extended-release tablet combining dapagliflozin (an SGLT2 inhibitor) and metformin (a biguanide). Dapagliflozin tells the kidneys to excrete excess glucose in the urine, while metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and helps the body use insulin more effectively. Together they lower blood sugar through two different mechanisms.
Xigduo XR is taken once daily with the morning meal to reduce stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, cut, or chew it. Take it at roughly the same time each day and follow your physician's dosing instructions exactly.
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, stomach upset, urinary tract infections, and genital yeast infections. Some people experience increased urination. Serious but less common risks include diabetic ketoacidosis, low blood pressure, and a rare serious genital infection called Fournier's gangrene. Contact your provider if you develop unusual symptoms.
Yes. Dapagliflozin works through the kidneys and is not recommended for patients with an eGFR below certain thresholds. Your physician will check your kidney function (eGFR and creatinine) before prescribing and periodically during treatment. Metformin also requires adequate kidney function and may be held before procedures using contrast dye.
On its own, Xigduo XR has a low risk of causing hypoglycemia. However, the risk increases if it is combined with insulin or a sulfonylurea. Your provider will review your full medication list and advise you on monitoring and any dose adjustments needed.
Avoid excessive alcohol, which can increase the risk of lactic acidosis from the metformin component. Stay well hydrated, especially in hot weather or during illness, because dehydration can worsen kidney function. Inform your provider if you are scheduled for surgery or a contrast imaging procedure, as metformin may need to be temporarily stopped.
