Ice. Use an ice pack or cold compress on your foot for 10 to 15 minutes at a time. This is especially beneficial at the end of a long day or when you’ve spent a lot of time on your feet. Or, roll a frozen water bottle under your foot. This method incorporates a bit of massage, relieving tightness in the bottom of your foot.

Oxra is dapaglioflozin which is SGLT2 inhibitor. Its acts on kidney and very potent drug. We generally gives the medicines on obese patients. Forxiga is substitute but costlier than Oxra. You Cam call me if needed for further guidance of visit my Clinic.

Dear lybrate-user,
I am sure your doctor must have told you that dapagliflozin acts by causing increased excretion of glucose in urine. That is the way it controls your blood sugars. Do not be worried about the urine sugars being high on this medicine so long as your blood sugars are under control. Because of sugar in the urine sometimes there can be irritation in the foreskin region which may need an antifungal cream

Hello, thanks for the query.
I have seen the details given. From the information given it appears that oral drugs are unable to control the glucose levels as required. Another aspect there is no mention of patient's weight, height, dietary pattern, extent of physical activity, bp readings and lipid profile. As all these matter in proper control of the glucose levels. Further with a hba1c% of 12%, it is essential to add insulin to the therapy. It is better to start with a basal insulin along ...more

Mr. lybrate-user, thanks for the query.
I have seen the query. However, there is no mention of how the glucose levels are controlled. It is essential to know fasting & pp levels as well as hba1c% before any comment can be made or any suggestion is given. As regards dapagliflozin and vildagliptin+ metformin combination usage, both these (dapagliflozin & vildagliptin) are totally different drugs. One can not be substituted for the other. Mode actions are totally different. Thanks.

Hello, thanks for the query.
Both jardiance (dapagliflozin) and canagliflozin have similar action as both belong to sglt - 2 inhibitor class of drugs. May I know the reason for changing from one to the other? If your physician has recommeded it then you may do so. Please give why the change is intended. Thanks.
