Product Introduction
Alsita M 50mg/500mg Tablet ER is a combination medication used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps to control blood sugar levels and reduces the risk of serious complications associated with diabetes, such as kidney damage, blindness, heart attacks, and strokes. Alsita M is often prescribed alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise to optimize blood sugar control.
This extended-release (ER) formulation ensures that the medication is slowly released over time, providing sustained control of blood glucose levels throughout the day. The combination of Sitagliptin and Metformin works in two different ways to lower blood sugar levels, making it an effective treatment for type 2 diabetes.
Key Ingredients:
- Sitagliptin (50mg): A DPP-4 inhibitor that works by helping your pancreas produce more insulin in response to meals and improves the effectiveness of insulin in the body. It also helps reduce excess glucose production by the liver.
- Metformin (500mg): A biguanide that helps to lower blood glucose by decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver, slowing glucose absorption from the intestines, and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
Key Benefits:
- Effective Blood Sugar Control: Helps to maintain balanced blood sugar levels, which is crucial for managing type 2 diabetes and preventing complications like kidney damage, nerve damage, eye problems, and heart disease.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: Proper control of blood sugar can lower the risk of long-term complications of diabetes, including stroke and heart attack.
- Convenient Extended-Release Formulation: The ER form of Alsita M provides continuous, controlled release of medication, reducing the need for frequent dosing.
- Dual Mechanism of Action: The combination of Sitagliptin and Metformin targets different mechanisms of blood sugar regulation, making it an effective treatment option.
How It Works:
- Sitagliptin increases insulin production by the pancreas and reduces the liver’s overproduction of glucose. This helps the body use insulin more effectively.
- Metformin works by lowering the production of glucose in the liver and improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. It also slows glucose absorption in the intestines.
How to Use:
- Dosage: Take as directed by your doctor. The dose will be based on your specific condition and how well your blood sugar levels are controlled.

- With food: Take the tablet with food to help minimize any potential gastrointestinal upset.
