Description

💊 Oxramet IR 5/1000mg Product Description

Oxramet IR 5/1000mg is an advanced, dual-action oral anti-diabetic medication designed for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It offers a comprehensive approach to glycemic control by combining two potent active ingredients into a single, immediate-release tablet.

Mechanism of Action: This formulation combines Dapagliflozin (5mg) and Metformin Hydrochloride (1000mg). Dapagliflozin works by preventing the kidneys from reabsorbing glucose, allowing excess sugar to be eliminated through urine. Metformin works by lowering glucose production in the liver and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Together, they provide effective blood sugar regulation.

Key Benefits:

• Superior Glycemic Control: Targets high blood sugar through two distinct pathways for better efficacy than monotherapy.
• Cardiovascular & Renal Support: Dapagliflozin is known to support heart health and reduce the risk of kidney complications in diabetic patients.
• Weight Management: May assist in modest weight loss due to the calorie deficit created by eliminating glucose via urine.
• Convenient Dosing: Reduces pill burden by combining two medications into one tablet.
