Istamet 50mg/1000mg Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Metformin (1000 mg): As a biguanide, metformin works in three ways to control blood glucose levels. It reduces the amount of sugar produced by your liver, decreases absorption of sugar from your intestines and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilisation.
• Sitagliptin (50 mg): Classified as a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, sitagliptin slows down the breakdown of incretin hormones in your body. Incretins are a group of hormones that help lower post-meal blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production and decreasing glucagon production (a hormone that raises blood sugar).
