Oxramet 5mg/1000mg Tablet IR

Description

Oxramet 5mg/1000mg Tablet IR is a combination of Dapagliflozin (5mg) and Metformin (1000mg), used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This dual therapy helps control blood sugar levels more effectively when diet, exercise, and single-drug therapy are not enough.

• Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that helps the kidneys eliminate excess glucose through urine, thereby lowering blood sugar.

• Metformin is a biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, helping the body use insulin more effectively.

Together, they provide stronger blood sugar control and may also reduce the risk of cardiovascular and kidney complications related to diabetes.

Uses:

• Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus

• Helps reduce blood sugar when single therapy is inadequate

• May support weight management and improve heart & kidney outcomes in diabetic patients

Take the tablet with meals to minimize stomach upset, exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow whole with water. Continue diet control and regular exercise along with the medication.
