Sitagimin Gm 1 Forte Tablet 10 contains three active ingredients that work together to control blood sugar:

• Glimepiride (1 mg): This component belongs to the sulfonylurea class and works by stimulating the pancreas to secrete more insulin, which helps lower blood glucose levels.

• Metformin (1000 mg): As a biguanide, Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing glucose uptake and utilisation in the body.

• Sitagliptin (50 mg): This is a Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that increases the levels of incretins, which are natural substances that help lower blood sugar after meals by increasing insulin release from the pancreas and decreasing glucagon levels in a glucose-dependent manner.

• Store Sitagimin Gm 1 Forte Tablet 10 at room temperature below 30°C.

• Protect from moisture and keep in a dry place.

• Store in the original packaging in a tightly sealed container.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use this medicine after the expiry date printed on the package.

• Monitor your carbohydrate intake and choose complex carbohydrates (whole grains, legumes) over simple sugars to help maintain steady blood glucose levels throughout the day.

• Engage in regular physical activity (like 30 minutes of brisk walking) most days of the week, as exercise improves insulin sensitivity and helps your body use glucose more effectively.
