Medicinal Benefits:

Oxramet-S XR 500 Tablet is a combination of three antidiabetic medicines: Sitagliptin, Dapagliflozin, and Metformin, used in the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, along with proper diet and exercise.
Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that helps increase insulin release and decrease glucagon levels in the body, lowering blood sugar levels when they are high.
Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, works by removing excess glucose through the urine, thereby lowering blood sugar levels.
Metformin is a biguanide which reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver and delays glucose absorption from the intestine.
It improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin, promoting better glucose uptake by muscles and tissues.
The combined effect of these three drugs offers multi-targeted control of blood sugar levels, especially in patients not controlled by single or dual therapy.
Oxramet-S XR 500 Tablet helps manage blood glucose levels and prevents diabetes-related complications, such as eye problems, nerve problems, and kidney impairment.
