Sitaxa M 50+500 Tablet is taken orally.

Sitaxa M 50+500 Tablet consists of two active components:

• Sitagliptin (50 mg): Sitagliptin aids in increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas in response to meals. Additionally, it reduces glucagon secretion by the pancreas which consequently lowers hepatic glucose production. Furthermore, it helps increase incretin levels, which aid in reducing blood sugar levels.

• Metformin (500 mg): This ingredient works by decreasing glucose production in the liver, reducing intestinal absorption of glucose, and improving insulin sensitivity which increases the uptake and utilization of glucose.

Together, metformin and sitagliptin help reduce blood glucose levels and improve the body's response to insulin.
