Oxramet-SXR500 Tablet consists of the following components:

• Dapagliflozin (10 mg): As a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, dapagliflozin reduces glucose reabsorption in the kidneys. This leads to an increased excretion of glucose through urine, thus lowering blood glucose levels.

• Metformin (500 mg): This compound decreases the production of glucose in the liver and reduces intestinal absorption of glucose. It also enhances insulin sensitivity, enabling better uptake and use of glucose by your body's cells.

• Sitagliptin (100 mg): Classified as a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, sitagliptin slows down the breakdown of incretin hormones. Increasing the concentration of these hormones in your bloodstream aids in reducing blood glucose levels.
