Sitazit D 50Mg/5Mg Tablet 10 is composed of two active ingredients:

• Dapagliflozin (5 mg): This ingredient belongs to a class of medicines known as sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. Its function is to block the reabsorption of glucose in your kidneys, leading to an increase in glucose excretion through urine. This helps lower blood sugar levels.

• Sitagliptin (50 mg): Classified as a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitor, sitagliptin slows down the inactivation of incretin hormones that are released after meals. This action results in increased insulin secretion from the pancreas and decreased release of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. The combined effect helps improve blood sugar control.
