Product Details:

Sitaglu Met combines two powerful agents, sitagliptin and metformin, into a single tablet to manage type 2 diabetes effectively. Sitagliptin boosts the body's natural insulin production in response to meals by increasing the levels of incretin hormones. Metformin complements this action by reducing glucose production in the liver and enhancing insulin sensitivity, providing a comprehensive approach to blood glucose control.

Purposes:

This medication is specifically designed to aid in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. By combining sitagliptin and metformin, Sitaglu Met helps regulate blood sugar levels more effectively than using either drug alone. It is ideal for patients who need both improved insulin function and reduced glucose production for better diabetes management.

Warnings:

• Lactic Acidosis: Though rare, lactic acidosis is a serious condition associated with metformin. Symptoms include muscle pain, difficulty breathing, and unusual sleepiness. Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
• Hypoglycemia Risk: Be cautious of low blood sugar, especially if you are taking other diabetes medications that can also lower blood glucose.
• Alcohol Use: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption while on this medication to reduce the risk of lactic acidosis.

Adverse Effects:

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and headache. Some individuals might experience a loss of appetite or joint pain. Respiratory infections are also possible. In rare cases, patients may have allergic reactions such as rash, itching, or swelling. Always consult your healthcare provider if you experience any of these symptoms.

Cautions:

• Medical History: Inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney disease, liver issues, or heart conditions.
• Pancreas Health: Use with caution if you have a history of pancreatitis or other pancreatic disorders.
• Monitoring: Regularly monitor your blood glucose levels as directed by your healthcare provider to ensure effective management of your condition.
• Medication Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider of all other medications you are taking to prevent potential interactions.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your healthcare provider before using this medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
