Oxramet-S XR 1000 Tablet is taken orally.

Oxramet-S XR 1000 Tablet combines three active ingredients that work together to help manage blood sugar levels:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): Dapagliflozin functions as a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor. This means it reduces the amount of glucose absorbed back into the blood by the kidneys, leading to more glucose being removed from the body through urine.

• Metformin (1000 mg): Metformin is a biguanide. It works by decreasing the production of glucose in the liver and reducing its absorption in the intestines. Additionally, it helps your body use up more glucose effectively.

• Sitagliptin (100 mg): As a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, sitagliptin helps increase insulin levels when needed and decrease the production of glucose when it's high.

Together, these ingredients help manage blood sugar levels effectively throughout the day.

• Keep Oxramet-S XR 1000 Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 20°C and 25°C.

• Use the tablet before its expiry date for maximum effectiveness.

• Regularly engage in physical activity. Moderate exercise such as walking or swimming can help manage blood glucose levels. Always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.

• Maintain a balanced diet. Opt for foods with low sugar content and high fibre, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables to support effective diabetes management. Remember to consult your doctor for personalised dietary advice.
