Product Description

Sitaglo DM Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medicine manufactured by Aristo Pharma. It contains Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, and Metformin, a biguanide. Together, these medicines regulate blood sugar levels by improving insulin secretion and decreasing glucose production in the liver. It is commonly prescribed for patients with type 2 diabetes who need better glycemic control when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient.
