Remogliflozin 100mg + Metformin 500mg — Uses and Benefits

This medicine is used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, especially when diet, exercise, and a single medicine are not enough to control sugar levels.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Controlling high blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
• Used along with diet and exercise for better glucose control
• Sometimes added when metformin alone is not sufficient

HOW IT WORKS

• Remogliflozin blocks a kidney protein (SGLT2) that reabsorbs sugar, causing extra sugar to pass out in urine
• Metformin reduces the amount of sugar made by the liver and improves how the body responds to insulin
• Together they lower blood sugar through two different actions

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not used for type 1 diabetes
• Not used for diabetic ketoacidosis
• Not a treatment for weight loss on its own, though weight loss may occur as a side effect
• Not a substitute for insulin when insulin is specifically required
