How It Works
Sitanorm M 50mg/500mg Tablet SR contains two active ingredients:
- Sitagliptin: A DPP-4 inhibitor that increases insulin production from the pancreas when blood glucose levels are high. It also reduces the liver’s production of excess glucose.
- Metformin: A biguanide that works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying the absorption of glucose from the intestines, and increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
Together, these two medicines help lower blood glucose levels, making Sitanorm M 50mg/500mg Tablet SR an effective treatment for managing type 2 diabetes.
