Qsita M 50/500 Tablet contains two active ingredients that work together to manage blood sugar levels:

• Sitagliptin phosphate (50 mg): This component is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It increases the levels of incretins, substances in your body that help control blood sugar by increasing insulin production. Sitagliptin also reduces the amount of sugar your liver produces by decreasing glucagon secretion, a hormone that raises your blood sugar levels.

• Metformin hydrochloride (500 mg): This ingredient belongs to a class of medications called biguanides. It improves your body's sensitivity to insulin, a hormone that regulates the amount of sugar in your blood. Metformin also reduces the amount of sugar produced by your liver and decreases the amount of sugar your body absorbs from the food you eat.

• Keep your Qsita M 50/500 Tablet in a cool, dry place.

• Store at temperatures not exceeding 30°C.

• Avoid direct exposure to sunlight and moisture.

• For safety, always keep this medicine out of reach of children.

• Remember to take note of the expiry date printed on the packaging and use the tablet before it expires.

• Regular Exercise: Incorporating physical activity into your daily routine can help manage your blood glucose levels effectively when you are taking Qsita M 50/500 Tablet. Try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise such as brisk walking, cycling or swimming most days of the week.

• Balanced Diet: Consuming a balanced diet low in processed foods and high in fibre, such as whole grains, fruits and vegetables, can support your body's ability to manage blood sugar levels. Also, remember to limit your intake of sugars and sweetened beverages. Always consult your doctor for personalised dietary advice.
