How It Works

Riax-M XR 5mg/1000mg Tablet is the combination of two medicines: saxagliptin and metformin. Saxagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor that works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreasing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. This reduces both fasting and post-meal sugar levels. Metformin is an anti-diabetic medication (biguanide). It works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines, and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin.
