Manufactured By: Barrett Hodgson Pakistan

Used For:

This combination is used to treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) by:

• Metformin HCl (Biguanide):

  • Reduces glucose production in the liver.
  • Increases insulin sensitivity in muscles.

• Sitagliptin (DPP-4 Inhibitor):

  • Increases insulin release after meals.
  • Lowers glucagon levels to prevent blood sugar spikes.

This combination provides better blood sugar control than either drug alone.

Side Effects:

• Common:

  • Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
  • Stomach pain, bloating
  • Headache
  • Loss of appetite

• Serious (but rare):

  • Lactic acidosis (rare but serious—weakness, dizziness, fast breathing)
  • Pancreatitis (severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting)
  • Low blood sugar (if taken with insulin or sulfonylureas)
  • Severe joint pain

Precautions:

• Avoid in kidney disease (Metformin increases lactic acidosis risk).
• Monitor for pancreatitis symptoms (Sitagliptin-related).
• Not for Type 1 Diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
• Limit alcohol intake to reduce lactic acidosis risk.
• Dose adjustment needed in kidney impairment.
• Take with food to reduce stomach upset.
