What is Sitaglyn M Ir 50/1000 Tab used for?

Type 2 diabetes mellitus: to improve glycaemic control (blood sugar) along with diet and exercise; used when metformin alone is inadequate or as part of combination therapy.

How Sitaglyn M Ir 50/1000 Tab Works

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.

Dosage & Directions

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.
