Sitagliptin (100 mg) belongs to a class of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors and works by:

• Increasing Incretin Levels: Sitagliptin increases the levels of active incretin hormones, which help the body produce more insulin when blood sugar levels are high.

• Reducing Glucagon Levels: It reduces the levels of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels.

Metformin (1000 mg works in multiple ways to manage blood sugar levels:

• Decreases Glucose Production: Metformin reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver.

• Reduces Glucose Absorption: Metformin also lessens glucose absorption in the intestines.

• Enhances Insulin Sensitivity: It enhances the body's sensitivity to insulin, facilitating better uptake and utilisation of glucose.
