Product Overview:

Manufactured By: AGP Pharma

Prescription: Yes

Product Details:

Glyzia Met combines Sitagliptin and Metformin in a single tablet for effective management of type 2 diabetes. Sitagliptin, an incretin enhancer, helps to increase insulin release and reduce glucagon levels in a glucose-dependent manner. Metformin, a biguanide, lowers blood glucose by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production in the liver. This combination ensures comprehensive blood sugar control without causing hypoglycemia.

Purposes:

Glyzia Met is indicated for:

• Initial Treatment: To improve blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes who have not achieved sufficient control with diet and exercise alone.
• Adjunct Therapy: To enhance glycemic control in individuals inadequately managed with Metformin or Sitagliptin alone, or those already on a combination therapy of Sitagliptin and Metformin.

Warnings:

• Hepatic Impairment: Use Glyzia Met cautiously in individuals with hepatic disease, as impaired liver function may increase the risk of lactic acidosis.
• Hypoglycemia Risk: When combined with sulphonylureas or insulin, Glyzia Met may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. Dose adjustments of sulphonylureas or insulin may be necessary.
• Pancreatitis: Monitor for symptoms of pancreatitis after starting Glyzia Met. If symptoms develop, discontinue the medication immediately and seek appropriate medical care.

Adverse Effects:

• Common: Nausea.
• Uncommon: Somnolence, diarrhea, upper abdominal pain, and reduced blood glucose levels.

Cautions:

• Renal Function: Glyzia Met is primarily excreted through the kidneys. Regular monitoring of serum creatinine levels is essential, particularly in patients with impaired renal function, to prevent lactic acidosis.
• Allergies and Sensitivities: Avoid use if you are allergic to Sitagliptin, Metformin, or any component of the tablet.
• Type 1 Diabetes: Glyzia Met is contraindicated in individuals with type 1 diabetes or those experiencing acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including ketoacidosis with or without coma.

Storage:

Store Glyzia Met at room temperature, away from direct light and heat. Ensure it is kept out of reach of children and pets.

Pregnancy Category:

Consult your healthcare provider before using Glyzia Met if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
