Sitahenz-M 500 Tablet is taken orally.

Sitahenz-M 500 Tablet contains two active ingredients:

• Metformin (500 mg): This biguanide antidiabetic agent works by reducing glucose production in the liver, decreasing the absorption of glucose in the intestines, and increasing glucose uptake and usage in your body's periphery. This multi-pronged approach helps improve insulin sensitivity, thereby managing blood sugar levels.
• Sitagliptin (50 mg): This is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It slows the inactivation of incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP, leading to an increase and prolongation of their action. This stimulates insulin synthesis and release from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner. Sitagliptin also reduces glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells, leading to reduced liver glucose production.

• Keep in a cool, dry place.
• The ideal storage temperature is below 30°C.
• Shield it from exposure to light.
• Always keep it out of reach of children.
• Make sure to use this medicine before the expiry date printed on the package.

• Maintain a balanced diet that is low in sugar and high in fibre, as this can help manage your blood sugar levels. Foods such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables are recommended.
• Regular physical activity is key in managing type 2 diabetes. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking or cycling, on most days of the week. Remember, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regime.
