Sitagimin M Xr 100/500 Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

• Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient works by reducing the amount of glucose produced by your liver. Additionally, it increases the sensitivity of muscle cells to insulin, helping your body use insulin more effectively. Metformin also slows down the absorption of sugars from your intestine.

• Sitagliptin (100 mg): This ingredient is a DPP-4 inhibitor. It works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones that help control blood sugar by increasing insulin release and decreasing glucagon levels. This leads to increased insulin release and decreased glucose production.

By working together this way, Metformin and Sitagliptin help control blood sugar levels throughout the day and after meals.
