Oxra S 10mg/100mg Tablet is a combination of Dapagliflozin (10mg) and Sitagliptin (100mg), used for the effective management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This dual therapy helps improve blood sugar control when diet, exercise, and single-agent treatment are not sufficient.

• Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that lowers blood sugar by removing excess glucose through urine.

• Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases incretin hormone levels, boosting insulin release and reducing sugar production by the liver.

Together, they work in different ways to help maintain stable blood glucose levels and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

Uses:

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus

• Helps achieve better glycemic control when monotherapy is inadequate

• May provide additional heart and kidney protection in diabetic patients

How to Use:
Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily. Swallow it whole with water, with or without food. Continue with your recommended diet and exercise plan for maximum benefit.

• Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that helps the kidneys remove excess glucose from the blood through urine.

• Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that enhances incretin activity, leading to increased insulin release and decreased sugar production by the liver.

Together, they provide better blood sugar control and may also reduce risks of heart and kidney complications in diabetes.

Oxramet 5mg/500mg Tablet IR is a combination of Dapagliflozin (5mg) and Metformin (500mg), used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is prescribed when diet, exercise, and single-drug treatment do not provide adequate blood sugar control.

• Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor that reduces blood sugar by removing excess glucose from the body through urine.

• Metformin is a biguanide that decreases glucose production in the liver and enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

This dual therapy helps achieve better glycemic control, reduces the risk of long-term diabetes complications, and may also provide additional benefits for heart and kidney health.

Uses:

• Treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus

• Improves blood sugar control when monotherapy is inadequate

• May reduce risk of cardiovascular and kidney-related complications in diabetic patients

How to Use:
Take the tablet with meals to minimize stomach irritation. Swallow it whole with water. Always follow your doctor’s advice on diet and lifestyle along with medication.
