Sitaxa 50 Tablet 15 contains sitagliptin (50 mg), which acts on the body in the following ways:

• DPP-4 inhibition: Sitagliptin works by blocking an enzyme in your body known as DPP-4, or dipeptidyl peptidase 4. This enzyme is normally responsible for breaking down certain hormones that help regulate insulin levels.

• Regulation of blood sugar: By inhibiting DPP-4, sitagliptin increases and prolongs the action of these hormones, leading to higher insulin levels and lower glucagon levels when blood sugar is high. This helps to control both fasting and post-meal blood glucose levels.

• Store Sitaxa 50 Tablet 15 at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it shielded from dampness and moisture.

• Place it in a location out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiration date before use.

• Maintain a balanced diet that's low in sugar and carbohydrates. This can help manage your blood sugar levels, complementing the effects of Sitaxa 50 Tablet 15.

• Regular physical activity, like walking or cycling, is beneficial. Exercise aids in controlling blood glucose levels by helping your body use insulin more efficiently.
