Oxramet XR Tablet

Description

Product Introduction

Oxramet XR 10mg/1000mg Tablet is a combination of two antidiabetic medications, Dapagliflozin and Metformin, used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. This medicine helps control high blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes, reducing the risk of serious complications such as kidney damage, eye problems, nerve damage, and cardiovascular disease. By lowering blood glucose, Oxramet XR helps prevent the long-term complications of diabetes, and it is an important part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet, exercise, and weight management.

Key Ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (10mg): A SGLT2 inhibitor that works by removing excess glucose from the body through urine.
• Metformin (1000mg): A biguanide that helps lower blood sugar levels by decreasing glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption in the intestines, and increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

Uses of Oxramet Tablet ER:

• Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus:
  Helps control high blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes, reducing the risk of complications such as kidney damage, eye damage, nerve problems, and limb loss.

Benefits of Oxramet Tablet ER:

• Blood Sugar Control:
  The combination of Dapagliflozin and Metformin effectively manages high blood glucose levels by using two mechanisms: reducing glucose production in the liver and promoting glucose excretion through urine.
  This comprehensive approach helps stabilize blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of complications like kidney disease and nerve damage.
• Heart Disease Prevention:
  If you have type 2 diabetes with cardiovascular disease, this medicine can also help reduce the risk of dying from heart disease, improving overall cardiovascular health.
• Convenient Dosing:
  The combination in Oxramet XR allows patients to take a single tablet to manage their blood sugar levels, which may improve compliance and ease of use.

How to Use Oxramet Tablet ER:

• Dosage:

  It should be taken with food to minimize gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Consistency:
  Take the medicine at the same time every day to help you remember. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor, as this may cause an increase in blood sugar levels and heighten the risk of complications.

How Oxramet Tablet ER Works:

• Dapagliflozin:
  Dapagliflozin is an SGLT2 inhibitor, meaning it works by preventing the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose back into the bloodstream. This results in the elimination of excess glucose through urine, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
• Metformin:
  Metformin works through several mechanisms: it decreases glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption in the intestines, and increases insulin sensitivity, helping the body use insulin more effectively.

By combining these two drugs, Oxramet XR provides better overall blood sugar control, which is essential in the management of type 2 diabetes.
