Product Description
Product Name: Sitamin Tablets 50mg-1000mg
Product Form: Tablets
Pack Size: 14's
Manufactured By: Pharmasol
Used For
-
Sitagliptin and Metformin are used together to control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.
- Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body's response to insulin.
- Sitagliptin helps increase insulin release after meals and decreases sugar production by the liver.
- This combination is effective for better glycemic control when diet, exercise, and single medications are not enough.
Side Effects
- Common: Nausea, diarrhea, upset stomach, upper respiratory tract infections, and headache.
- Serious: Lactic acidosis (a rare but serious side effect of metformin), pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), severe joint pain, and hypoglycemia (especially if combined with other diabetes medications).
Precautions
- Kidney Function: Metformin is processed through the kidneys, so regular monitoring is recommended, especially for those with kidney issues.
- Medical Conditions: Inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver disease, heart failure, or pancreatitis.
- Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it can increase the risk of lactic acidosis with metformin.
- Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor, as the safety of this combination in pregnancy and breastfeeding isn’t fully established.
- Drug Interactions: Tell your doctor about other medications you’re taking to avoid potential interactions affecting blood sugar.
