Sitagliptin enhances your body’s natural response to insulin after meals, while metformin lowers the amount of sugar produced by the liver and improves your body’s insulin sensitivity. These tablets are designed to be part of a comprehensive diabetes treatment plan, which includes diet and exercise, to help control blood sugar levels in adults.

Purposes

The main purpose of Sitaglu Met 50mg/1000mg Tablets is to help manage high blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes. By combining sitagliptin and metformin, this medication provides a dual approach to glucose control, improving insulin function and reducing sugar production in the body.
