ST-GLIPTIN M 50/500: An Overview.....

ST-GLIPTIN M 50/500 

Sitagliptin (50mg), Metformin SR 500

ST-GLIPTIN M 50/500 combines Sitagliptin (50 mg) with Metformin SR (500 mg), offering a dual approach to managing type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination medication leverages the unique mechanisms of both drugs to enhance glycemic control, making it an effective option for patients whose diabetes is not adequately managed with monotherapy.

Uses

Type 2 Diabetes Management

ST-GLIPTIN M 50/500 is primarily used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This condition involves insulin resistance and insufficient insulin production, which results in elevated blood sugar levels. By combining Sitagliptin and Metformin SR, ST-GLIPTIN M 50/500 addresses these issues from two different angles:

Sitagliptin: A DPP-4 inhibitor that increases incretin hormone levels, promoting insulin secretion and reducing glucose production in the liver.

Metformin SR: A biguanide that decreases glucose production in the liver and enhances insulin sensitivity in muscle cells.

Combination Therapy

ST-GLIPTIN M 50/500 can be used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes diet and exercise. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other antidiabetic agents to achieve optimal blood sugar control. This combination is particularly beneficial for patients who have not achieved adequate glycemic control with either drug alone.

Dosage

Recommended Dosage

The typical dosage of ST-GLIPTIN M 50/500 is one tablet taken orally twice daily, usually with meals to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. It is important to adhere to the prescribed dosage and frequency for effective management of blood sugar levels.

Dose Adjustments

Renal Impairment: Dose adjustments may be necessary for patients with kidney impairment. Regular monitoring of renal function is essential.

Liver Impairment: Patients with liver conditions should consult their healthcare provider for appropriate dosage adjustments.
