RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S contains saxagliptin which belongs to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults. RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S is prescribed for the condition of type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone cannot control their blood sugar levels. It is the first-line therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes that restores the body's response to insulin. Insulin is the hormone that controls sugar levels in your blood. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or the insulin produced is unable to perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, so it is also known as adult-onset diabetes.
RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S work by blocking the action of DPP-4 (an enzyme which destroys hormone ‘Incretin’). The enzyme ‘Incretins’ help to produce more insulin only when required and reduce blood sugar level produced by the liver when not needed. RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes and for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.
RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S should be taken with food or empty stomach. However, it should be taken at the same time of the day each time for best results. For better advice, your doctor will decide, what dose should be taken and it can change timely depending upon your condition. The most common side effect of RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S are hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels), upper respiratory tract infection, nasopharyngitis (infection of nose and throat with common cold) and headache.
Prolonged intake of RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S may cause acute pancreatitis (swollen pancreas), and critical kidney problem. Increased risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) can occur when RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S is added to other anti-diabetic agents or insulin therapy. In this case, your doctor may adjust the dose of RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S. Severe allergic reactions might occur in some patients taking RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S like anaphylaxis, angioedema (swelling under the skin), and exfoliative skin conditions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Safety and efficacy of RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S in children under 18 years have not been established, so it should not be given to them. Patients taking digoxin (a heart medicine) with RIAX 5MG TABLET 14'S should be closely monitored as severe drug interaction has been observed.
