• Type 2 Diabetes: Helps control blood sugar when a single medicine is not enough.

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

Sitagliptin M 50/500 Tablet 15 is taken orally.

Sitagliptin M 50/500 Tablet 15 consists of two active ingredients:

• Sitagliptin (50 mg): This ingredient is classified as a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It regulates blood sugar by increasing insulin release from your pancreas and reducing glucagon secretion.

• Metformin (500 mg): As a member of the biguanide class of medicines, metformin aids in reducing blood sugar levels through various actions. It decreases glucose production in your liver, reduces glucose absorption in your intestines, and enhances insulin sensitivity in your body.

The combined action of metformin and sitagliptin offers better control over blood sugar levels than either component alone.
