Description Benefits Administration of Dosage Side Effects Precautions and & Disclaimer

SITAPRED 50/1000 is a combination tablet containing Sitagliptin and Metformin, used to control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, enhances incretin hormone activity, promoting insulin release and lowering glucagon levels. Metformin, an antihyperglycemic agent, reduces liver glucose production and increases insulin sensitivity. Together, this combination provides dual-action glycemic control, aiding in the management of diabetes and reducing the risk of complications. SITAPRED 50/1000 is available in 10x15 blister packaging. HOW DOES IT WORK? Sitagliptin works by inhibiting the enzyme DPP-4, which prolongs the action of incretin hormones that stimulate insulin release in response to meals and reduce glucagon secretion. Metformin primarily decreases glucose production in the liver and enhances insulin sensitivity, improving the body’s ability to utilize glucose. This combined mechanism allows for effective blood sugar management throughout the day without significantly increasing the risk of hypoglycemia. SIDE EFFECTS While SITAPRED 50/1000 is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience mild side effects, such as:

Nausea
Diarrhea
Headache
Respiratory tract infection
Hypoglycemia (rarely)

Patients should consult their healthcare provider if any side effects persist or worsen. Metformin may rarely cause lactic acidosis, a serious side effect that requires immediate medical attention. ADMINISTRATION OF DOSES SITAPRED 50/1000 is typically prescribed as one tablet taken once or twice daily with meals to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort. Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on blood sugar control and individual tolerance. It is crucial for patients to follow their healthcare provider’s dosing instructions carefully and not exceed the prescribed dose. BENEFITS
