Pharmacology
Sucozin 10 is a sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor. SGLT2 helps in reabsorbing glucose in the kidney. By blocking this process, Sucozin 10 increases glucose excretion through urine. This helps lower blood sugar levels, aids in weight loss, and reduces blood pressure.
Dosage & Administration
Adults: The usual dose is 10 mg once a day in the morning, with or without food. The dose can be increased to 25 mg once daily for those who tolerate Sucozin 10. Sucozin 10 is important to correct any low body fluid levels before starting treatment.
Interaction
Diuretics: Taking Sucozin 10 with diuretics can lead to more urine production.
Insulin or Insulin Secretagogues: Using Sucozin 10 with insulin or insulin-stimulating drugs can increase the risk of low blood sugar.
Urine Glucose Test: Do not use urine glucose tests for monitoring blood sugar while on this medicine, as Sucozin 10 can cause a positive result. Use other methods to track blood sugar.
1,5-AG Test: Do not use the 1,5-AG test to monitor blood sugar levels as Sucozin 10 is unreliable with this medicine. Alternative methods should be used.
