Oxra 10 mg Tablet

Oxra 10 mg Tablet is an oral diabetes medicine that contains 10 mg of dapagliflozin in each tablet. Dapagliflozin belongs to the SGLT2 inhibitor class, which is used to help lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. This strength is also used in some patients to reduce the risk of certain diabetes-related and heart/kidney complications when a doctor recommends it. Oxra 10 mg Tablet is made by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and comes in a strip/box of 14 tablets.

How it works: Dapagliflozin helps the kidneys remove extra glucose into the urine instead of keeping it in the blood. As a tablet, Oxra 10 mg Tablet is swallowed and then absorbed to provide this blood-sugar-lowering effect throughout the day.

Oxra 10 mg Tablet is the higher-strength dapagliflozin tablet commonly used when a doctor wants the full standard adult dose. Compared with lower-strength dapagliflozin tablets, the 10 mg tablet is not a starter dose for everyone; it is chosen based on kidney function, other medicines, and how well blood sugar is controlled. Because it is a tablet, it is taken by mouth and works in the same way as other dapagliflozin tablets, but at this 10 mg strength it is more likely to be the maintenance dose.
