Product Details

Sitaglu Met 50/500mg Tablets combine two powerful ingredients, sitagliptin and metformin, to provide effective blood sugar control for adults with type 2 diabetes. Sitagliptin works by regulating insulin levels after meals, while metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin. These tablets are designed to be used alongside a healthy diet and exercise plan to help maintain balanced blood sugar levels.

Purposes

The main purpose of Sitaglu Met 50/500mg Tablets is to help manage high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. By combining the effects of sitagliptin and metformin, this medication enhances the body’s natural response to insulin and helps lower sugar levels, preventing complications related to diabetes.
