Product Details:

Guja Sit 5 mg / 100 mg tablets contain a combination of Ertugliflozin and Sitagliptin, which are used to help control blood sugar levels in adult patients with type 2 diabetes. Ertugliflozin works by helping the kidneys eliminate excess sugar from the bloodstream, while Sitagliptin helps regulate the levels of insulin produced after eating. This medication is recommended to be used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise to achieve optimal results. It is particularly beneficial for patients whose blood sugar levels are not adequately controlled by diet, exercise, or other medications alone.

Purposes:

• Blood Sugar Control: Guja Sit tablets are used to manage elevated blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
• Combination Therapy: Can be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medications to enhance blood sugar control.
• Supports Overall Diabetes Management: This medication helps prevent the complications of type 2 diabetes, such as heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney issues, when used in conjunction with proper diet and exercise.

How To Use:

• Take Guja Sit tablets orally with a glass of water as prescribed by your doctor.
• The medication can be taken with or without food, though it is recommended to take it at the same time each day for consistency.
• Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush, chew, or dissolve in water.
• Follow the prescribed dosage and duration; do not increase or decrease the dosage without medical advice.
• Avoid skipping doses, and never double the dose if you miss one.

Expert Advice:

• Take this medication once daily, ideally in the morning, for maximum effect.
