Sitagliptin 100mg + Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg PR Tablets
SKU GME456Product Introduction
Sitagliptin 100mg + Metformin Hydrochloride 500mg PR tablet is an oral combination for adults with type 2 diabetes when sitagliptin and metformin are both appropriate. It helps improve glucose control alongside diet and physical activity.
How to use
Take the prolonged-release tablet with meals and swallow it whole rather than crushing or chewing it. Kidney-function results guide whether the combination and dose remain suitable.
How it works
Sitagliptin inhibits DPP-4 to support incretin activity. Metformin lowers liver glucose output and improves insulin sensitivity.
Side effects
Possible effects include nausea, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, metallic taste, headache, and low blood sugar with insulin or sulfonylureas. Serious concerns include lactic acidosis, pancreatitis, allergic swelling, severe joint pain, kidney problems, bullous pemphigoid, and heart-failure symptoms.
Important information
Tell your doctor about kidney problems, dehydration, severe infection, liver disease, heart failure or pancreatitis. Mention pregnancy, breastfeeding, alcohol, insulin, sulfonylureas and planned surgery or contrast imaging. Kidney filtration rate affects suitability.
Uses
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when sitagliptin plus metformin therapy is prescribed.
Benefits
Combines incretin support with reduced liver glucose production to improve glucose control when both medicines suit the patient.
