Sitazit-M Tablet is taken orally.

Sitazit-M Tablet is composed of Metformin (500 mg) and Sitagliptin (50 mg).

Metformin (500 mg) belongs to the biguanide class of anti-diabetic medicines. Its role involves:

• Lowering glucose production in the liver: This process reduces the amount of sugar available in the bloodstream.

• Decreasing intestinal absorption of glucose: This helps limit the amount of sugar that enters your bloodstream after meals.

• Enhancing insulin sensitivity: This increases your body's ability to utilise glucose effectively.

Sitagliptin (50 mg) is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, and has several functions:

• Increasing incretin levels: Incretins are natural substances that help control blood sugar by regulating insulin release, especially after meals.

• Stimulating insulin production: This aids in reducing blood glucose levels.

• Lowering glucose production by the liver: This further assists in maintaining optimal blood sugar levels.

The combined action of metformin and sitagliptin provides more effective control of blood sugar levels than either component alone.

• Store your Sitazit-M Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 20°C to 25°C.

• Protect it from exposure to direct light and moisture.

• Keep it in a safe place where children cannot reach.

• Always check the expiry date before taking the medicine.

• Include plenty of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables in your diet. These high-fibre foods can help control your blood sugar levels.

• Regular physical activity is essential. It helps increase insulin sensitivity and manage blood sugar levels. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, most days of the week.
