ST-GLIPTIN M50/1000

Sitagliptin (50mg), Metformin SR 1000

ST-GLIPTIN M50/1000 is a combination medication containing Sitagliptin (50 mg) and Metformin SR (1000 mg). This formulation is used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus, a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance or inadequate insulin production. By combining these two effective agents, ST-GLIPTIN M50/1000 provides a comprehensive approach to improving glycemic control and managing diabetes.

Uses

Type 2 Diabetes Management

ST-GLIPTIN M50/1000 is primarily used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination helps lower blood sugar levels through two different mechanisms:

Sitagliptin (50 mg): Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that enhances the body’s natural ability to lower blood sugar. It works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, which stimulate insulin release and decrease glucose production in the liver.

Metformin SR (1000 mg): Metformin is a biguanide that reduces glucose production in the liver and increases insulin sensitivity in the muscles. The sustained-release (SR) formulation allows for a gradual release of the medication, which helps maintain consistent blood sugar levels over a longer period.

Combination Therapy

The combination of Sitagliptin and Metformin in ST-GLIPTIN M50/1000 allows for effective management of blood sugar levels when used alongside diet and exercise. This combination may also be used when other antidiabetic medications do not provide adequate glycemic control.
