Sitaliptin 100 M Sr Tablet 15 contains two active ingredients:

• Sitagliptin (100 mg): As a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, it increases the levels of incretin hormones in your body. These hormones help stimulate insulin release from the pancreas when blood sugar is high and reduce the production of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar.

• Metformin (500 mg): This biguanide antihyperglycemic agent works by decreasing glucose production in your liver. It also improves insulin sensitivity by helping your muscles use glucose more effectively and reduces the absorption of sugar from your intestines.
