Sitagliptin Phosphate (50mg) & Metformin HCI (500mg)

GLISITAPTIN M 50/500 combines two effective medications, Sitagliptin Phosphate and Metformin Hydrochloride, used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination helps control blood sugar levels, offering a dual approach to diabetes management. This article provides detailed information on the uses, dosage, side effects, and other essential aspects of GLISITAPTIN M 50/500.

Uses

Type 2 Diabetes Management: GLISITAPTIN M 50/500 is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is typically prescribed when diet, exercise, and single-drug therapy do not provide adequate glycemic control.

Mechanism of Action

Sitagliptin: Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases the levels of incretin hormones. These hormones increase insulin release and decrease glucagon levels in the blood, helping to lower blood glucose levels.

Metformin: Metformin works by reducing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity, thereby helping the body utilize glucose more effectively.

Dosage and Administration

Typical Dose: The usual starting dose is one tablet (50 mg Sitagliptin and 500 mg Metformin) taken twice daily with meals.

Adjustment: The dosage may be adjusted based on the patient's response to treatment and blood sugar levels. Always follow the doctor's instructions.

Maximal Dose: The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg of Sitagliptin and 2000 mg of Metformin per day.

How to Take GLISITAPTIN M 50/500

With Food: Take the medication with meals to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal side effects.

Consistency: Take it at the same time each day to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Regular Monitoring: Regular blood glucose monitoring is essential to ensure the medication's effectiveness and safety.

Side Effects

Common Side Effects:

Nausea

Diarrhea

Headache

Upper respiratory infection

Serious Side Effects:

Severe joint pain

Precautions

Kidney Function: Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment. Regular monitoring of kidney function is necessary.

Liver Function: Liver function tests should be conducted before starting treatment and periodically thereafter.

Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, as it can increase the risk of lactic acidosis.

Other Medications: Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, to avoid potential interactions.

Contrast Dye: Inform your doctor if you are scheduled for radiologic studies involving intravenous contrast, as Metformin should be temporarily discontinued.
