Management Of Side Effects:

Here is how you can manage some common side effects:

Diarrhoea: Consider taking Oxramet Tablets 5mg/500mg with meals to lessen this effect.
Nausea: Try taking this medicine after meals, which could reduce feelings of sickness.

Dapagliflozin (5 mg): This works by inhibiting the SGLT2 in your kidneys. Basically, it stops the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose back into your body from your urine. The result is an increase in glucose excretion through urine, helping to lower blood glucose levels.
Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient works primarily by decreasing the production of glucose in your liver. It also reduces the absorption of glucose from your intestines and improves insulin sensitivity, meaning it helps your body use insulin more effectively. Unlike dapagliflozin, metformin does not stimulate insulin secretion.

Cationic medications: Medicines like amiloride, digoxin, morphine, procainamide, quinidine, ranitidine, triamterene, trimethoprim or vancomycin may interact with Oxramet Tablets 5mg/500mg. This interaction could increase the accumulation of metformin in your body and raise the risk of lactic acidosis.

Drug-Food Interactions
