"Sitagliptin 50mg & Metformin SR 1000mg: Diabetes Care"

ST-GLIPTIN M50/1000 

Sitagliptin (50mg), Metformin SR 1000

Introduction

Sitagliptin (50mg) and Metformin SR (1000mg) is a potent combination medication designed to effectively manage type 2 diabetes. By combining the benefits of a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor and a biguanide, this dual-action therapy helps to control blood sugar levels, improve insulin sensitivity, and enhance overall glucose metabolism.

Mechanism of Action

Sitagliptin (50mg)

• Sitagliptin works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which breaks down incretin hormones. Incretin hormones play a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels by increasing insulin synthesis and release from pancreatic beta cells while decreasing glucagon production. By preventing the breakdown of these hormones, Sitagliptin enhances their action, leading to better blood sugar control.

Metformin SR (1000mg)

• Metformin is a biguanide that reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver. The sustained-release (SR) formulation ensures a steady release of the medication, providing prolonged glucose control. It also improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin, aiding in better glucose utilization and absorption.

Uses

• Type 2 Diabetes Management: This combination is primarily used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults, helping to control blood sugar levels and prevent complications associated with diabetes.
• Postprandial Glucose Control: The combination helps manage post-meal blood sugar spikes, providing more stable glucose levels throughout the day.

Dosage and Administration

The typical dosage is one tablet of Sitagliptin (50mg) and Metformin SR (1000mg) taken once daily, with the evening meal to reduce gastrointestinal side effects and ensure optimal absorption. Regular blood sugar monitoring and follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to ensure the medication’s effectiveness.

Side Effects

Common side effects include:

• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Headache
• Upper respiratory tract infections
• Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

Serious side effects may include:

• Lactic acidosis (a rare but serious complication of metformin)
• Pancreatitis (from sitagliptin)
• Severe allergic reactions

Precautions

• Kidney Function: Regular monitoring of kidney function is recommended, especially for patients with renal impairment.
• Liver Function: Patients with liver disease should use this combination cautiously.
• Hydration: Ensure adequate hydration to avoid dehydration.

Conclusion

Sitagliptin (50mg) and Metformin SR (1000mg) offer a comprehensive approach to managing type 2 diabetes. By targeting different aspects of glucose metabolism, this combination helps maintain optimal blood sugar levels and improve overall health.
