Overview

Oxramet-S IR 5/50/500 Tablet combines three medications to help manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. This medicine works best when paired with a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and healthy weight management. It supports the proper use of insulin in the body, aiding in maintaining stable glucose levels.

This tablet can be taken with or without food. Taking it at the same time every day improves consistency in blood sugar control. Your doctor will determine the correct dosage. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, as sudden discontinuation may raise blood sugar and increase the risk of complications such as kidney damage or vision problems.

Common Side Effects

Precautions

Inform your healthcare provider if you have kidney or liver problems, a urinary tract infection, or if you are taking diuretics. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before using this medicine. Limit alcohol intake while on this treatment, as it may increase the risk of side effects. Regular monitoring of blood sugar is recommended during treatment.

Uses

Helps control blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits

Oxramet-S IR lowers blood glucose by promoting the removal of excess sugar through urine and improving the body’s response to insulin. Maintaining healthy blood sugar levels reduces the risk of serious complications, including kidney damage, eye problems, nerve damage, and limb loss. For patients with both type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, this medicine may also lower the risk of death from heart-related issues. Consistent use, along with lifestyle adjustments, helps maintain long-term health.

How to Take

Follow the dosage and schedule recommended by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not chew, crush, or break it.

How It Works

• Dapagliflozin increases sugar excretion through urine

• Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, slows intestinal sugar absorption, and enhances insulin sensitivity

• Sitagliptin boosts incretin hormones, promoting insulin release from the pancreas and signaling the liver to reduce sugar production when blood sugar is high
