Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- In Type 2 diabetes, your pancreas does not produce enough insulin to control the level of glucose in your blood and thus your body is unable to utilize its insulin effectively.
- Certain protein like sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) in the kidney, helps to maintain blood sugar levels by retaining glucose from urine.
- Vicra 25 tablet medicine blocks the SGLT2 protein in your kidneys. This causes an excess of blood sugar to be removed from your urine. Thereby this medicine lowers the amount of sugar in your blood.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Some medicines can affect the way Vicra 25 tablet works, or Vicra 25 tablet itself can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
- Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, or herbals you are currently taking or might take to avoid any possible interaction.
- In particular, if you are taking medicines to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, high/abnormal cholesterol levels, blood thinners, anti-infectives, anti-diabetics, anti-asthmatics, pain killers, immunomodulatory medicines or medicines for the brain-related disorder.
