Sitagliptin Base-metformin Hcl

Drug Details

This medication combines two drugs to help manage high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It should be used alongside a healthy diet and exercise and can be combined with other treatments if necessary. The first component, Sitagliptin, enhances the levels of incretins, natural substances that increase insulin release after meals and reduce sugar production in the liver. The second component, Metformin, improves your body's response to insulin and decreases sugar production by the liver as well as sugar absorption in the stomach and intestines. Effectively controlling blood sugar is crucial in preventing complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, nerve issues, limb loss, and sexual dysfunction, and it may also reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes.
