CompositionSITALONG M 100/500 TABLET 15 is used to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are not enough. Good control helps reduce the long-term risk of complications such as kidney, nerve and eye damage.
It combines sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor that helps the body release more insulin after meals, and metformin, which improves the body's response to insulin and reduces the glucose made by the liver. The SR form releases the medicine slowly. Take it with food as prescribed.
A balanced diet with controlled carbohydrate intake, regular activity, keeping to a healthy weight and routine blood sugar monitoring support better control alongside this medicine.
Tell your doctor about any kidney or pancreas problems before starting, and about other medicines you take. Report ongoing vomiting, fast breathing, severe stomach pain, or signs of an allergic reaction such as rash or swelling.
