SITAGLYN M IR 50/1000 TAB — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Sitagliptin 50 mg + Metformin 1000 mg (immediate-release)

Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases incretin hormones (GLP-1/GIP), enhancing glucose-dependent insulin release and reducing glucagon. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose without usually causing hypoglycaemia when used alone.

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, usually with meals to reduce stomach upset. Swallow whole with water; do not crush/chew unless advised. Regularly monitor blood glucose; follow diet and exercise advice.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
