Composition

Metformin (1000 Mg) + Sitagliptin (50 Mg)

Sitaford 50 M Forte Sr Tablet 15 is used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines sitagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) and metformin (a biguanide), which work together to improve insulin sensitivity and reduce glucose production in the liver, helping to control blood sugar levels.

In addition to controlling high blood sugar, this medicine helps prevent serious complications of diabetes, such as kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

Remember to take this medicine as advised by your doctor. Always inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this medicine. If you notice any side effects while on this medication, promptly notify your doctor. It's important to continue taking the medication for the duration prescribed by your doctor to achieve optimal results.
