CompositionOxramet XR 10mg/500mg Tablet is used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults, helping to lower blood sugar levels alongside diet and exercise. It combines an SGLT2 inhibitor with metformin, a biguanide, and also helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and heart failure.
The SGLT2 inhibitor works by helping the kidneys remove excess sugar through urine, while metformin reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver and improves how the body uses insulin. Swallow the tablet whole with water, taken with food. Continue taking this medicine even if you feel well, as ongoing use is needed to keep blood sugar under control.
Following a balanced diet with controlled carbohydrate intake, staying physically active, and maintaining a healthy weight can improve blood sugar control alongside this medicine. Drink enough fluids, as this medicine increases urination.
Before starting, tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems, dehydration, or urinary tract infections. Tell your doctor if you notice symptoms of a genital or urinary infection, unusual tiredness, or breathing difficulty, as these should be checked promptly. This medicine is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
