STERIS SITAGLIPTIN 50 + METFORMIN 500 

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

Introduction

STERIS SITAGLIPTIN 50 + METFORMIN 500 is a combination medication that includes Sitagliptin 50 mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg. This dual-action drug is designed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, works by increasing insulin production and decreasing glucose output from the liver. Metformin, a biguanide, enhances insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production. Together, they help achieve better glycemic control and improve overall blood sugar management.

Uses

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: STERIS SITAGLIPTIN 50 + METFORMIN 500 is prescribed to manage type 2 diabetes, especially when diet and exercise alone are not enough to control blood glucose levels.
• Blood Sugar Control: The combination of Sitagliptin and Metformin works synergistically to lower blood glucose levels, reduce HbA1c, and maintain glycemic control.
• Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Metformin improves the body's sensitivity to insulin, while Sitagliptin enhances insulin secretion, leading to better glucose management.
• Prevention of Complications: Effective management of blood glucose levels with this combination helps prevent or delay complications associated with diabetes, such as neuropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular disease.

Dosage

• Standard Dosage: The typical dosage is one tablet of STERIS SITAGLIPTIN 50 + METFORMIN 500 taken twice daily with meals. Dosage adjustments may be made based on individual blood glucose levels and tolerance.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. It is recommended to take it with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
• Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Avoid taking two doses at once to make up for a missed dose.

Side Effects

• Common Side Effects: Common side effects include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and headache. These symptoms are usually mild and may decrease over time.
• Serious Side Effects: Serious side effects may include severe hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), lactic acidosis (a rare but serious condition associated with Metformin), and severe allergic reactions. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include dizziness, confusion, and sweating, while lactic acidosis symptoms include muscle pain, rapid breathing, and stomach discomfort.
• Long-Term Use Effects: Long-term use of this combination medication is generally safe, but regular monitoring of blood glucose levels and kidney function is recommended to avoid potential complications.
