Sitaglo M Forte Tablet

Description

Product Description

Sitaglo M Forte Tablet is an advanced oral anti-diabetic medicine that combines Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, and Metformin (extended-release), a biguanide, to effectively control blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is prescribed when diet, exercise, and single-agent therapy are insufficient to maintain proper sugar levels.

This dual-action formulation works by enhancing the body’s natural insulin response and reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver. It not only helps achieve better glycemic control but also reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications like nerve damage, kidney problems, and heart disease.
