How Zomelis Met 50/500 Tablet Works

Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases incretin hormones, leading to increased insulin release and reduced glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. Metformin decreases hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, reducing intestinal glucose absorption and lowering blood glucose levels.

Dosage & Directions

Tablet; take exactly as prescribed. Usually taken with meals to reduce stomach upset; swallow whole with water (do not crush/chew unless advised). Dose and frequency depend on blood sugar control and kidney function.

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