Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?

A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Sitaglyn 50 Tablet. The medicine inside is the same — the brand name, manufacturer and price are what differ.

All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.

Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.

Composition of Sitaglyn 50 Tablet

Sitaglyn 50 Tablet contains Sitagliptin 50 mg. It belongs to the DPP-4 inhibitor (gliptin) class of medicines.

How Sitaglyn 50 Tablet works

Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases levels of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP). This enhances glucose-dependent insulin release and reduces glucagon secretion, lowering blood glucose with a low risk of hypoglycaemia when used alone.

Take by mouth as directed by the doctor, usually once daily. Can be taken with or without food; swallow tablet with water at the same time each day. Dose adjustment may be needed in kidney disease; do not stop or change dose without medical advice.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine may cause low blood sugar, particularly if you also take other diabetes medicines. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

  • Headache
