Lusefi (Luseogliflozin) 2.5mg Tablet 100s (Box)

HOE Lusefi 2.5mg Tablet belongs to a class of oral antidiabetic medicines known as SGLT2 inhibitors (sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors), and its active ingredient is Luseogliflozin, which works at the kidney level to help regulate blood sugar in adults living with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Like most medicines in this drug class, it may cause some side effects that you should be aware of before starting treatment — the most commonly reported ones include urinary tract infections, genital fungal infections, increased urination, and mild dizziness.

If you're considering this tablet, it's important to know that it is a prescription medicine, meaning your doctor's guidance is essential before you begin. You'll also want to keep your healthcare provider informed about any other medicines or health conditions you have, as this helps ensure the treatment is safe and right for you. Rest assured, when used correctly under medical supervision, HOE Lusefi 2.5mg Tablet is a well-established pharmaceutical option that many patients across Asia, including Singapore, rely on as part of their diabetes management plan.

The recommended starting dose of HOE Lusefi is 2.5mg once daily, which may be increased to 5mg once daily by your doctor based on your individual blood sugar response and tolerability. Always follow your prescribing doctor's instructions regarding dosage adjustments, and do not change your dose on your own without professional medical advice.

HOE Lusefi 2.5mg Tablet is an oral tablet indicated for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) in adults, with each tablet containing 2.5mg of the active ingredient Luseogliflozin. Belonging to the SGLT2 Inhibitor (Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitor) drug class, Luseogliflozin is a selective and potent pharmacologically active compound that acts on the kidneys to promote the excretion of excess glucose through urine. This active ingredient is the same core compound found in the originator product and has been studied in clinical settings across Asian populations, making it particularly relevant for Singaporean patients.
