Product Overview
Sitaxa DM 10mg/1000mg/100mg Tablet ER is a combination medication used to help manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This medicine works in conjunction with a proper diet and regular exercise to improve blood sugar control. By enhancing insulin utilization in the body, Sitaxa DM helps lower elevated blood sugar levels, contributing to better management of diabetes.
Salt Composition/Key Ingredients:
- Dapagliflozin (10mg)
- Metformin (1000mg)
- Sitagliptin (100mg)
How to Use:
Sitaxa DM Tablet ER should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is typically taken once a day, with or without food. For best results, try to take it at the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water—do not chew, crush, or break it. Adherence to the prescribed dose and schedule is crucial for optimal blood sugar control.
How It Works:
Sitaxa DM Tablet ER is a combination of three active ingredients that work together to control blood glucose levels:
- Dapagliflozin: Increases the excretion of glucose through urine, helping lower blood sugar levels.
- Metformin: Reduces glucose absorption from food and decreases glucose production by the liver. It also improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin, which is essential for regulating blood sugar.
- Sitagliptin: Enhances insulin secretion by increasing incretin hormones in the body. It also signals the liver to stop producing excess glucose when blood sugar levels are high.
This combined action helps to effectively manage blood glucose levels, reducing the risk of complications related to diabetes.

Like all medications, Sitaxa DM Tablet ER may cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. Common side effects include:
