OXRamet 5mg/500mg Tablet IR

Description

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.

Dosage:
The dose depends on your blood sugar levels, overall health, and doctor’s recommendations. Do not self-adjust or discontinue the medicine without medical supervision.

Precautions:

• Not intended for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

• Inform your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart problems.

• Metformin may rarely cause lactic acidosis; seek urgent care if you experience unusual tiredness, muscle pain, or breathing difficulty.

• Dapagliflozin may increase the risk of urinary tract and genital infections.

• Stay hydrated to avoid dehydration.

• Use cautiously during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

• Regular monitoring of blood sugar, kidney function, and vitamin B12 levels is recommended.

Side Effects:

• Nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain (Metformin-related)

• Increased urination, urinary or genital infections (Dapagliflozin-related)

• Low blood sugar when combined with insulin or other diabetes medicines

• Dizziness, dehydration

• Rare but serious: lactic acidosis, severe allergic reactions
