Sitaglo M SR Tablet

Description

Product Description

Sitaglo M SR Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medicine that combines Sitagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) and Metformin (sustained release) (a biguanide) to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus effectively. It helps control blood sugar levels when lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise alone are not enough.

The sustained-release formula ensures a gradual and consistent release of medicine, providing long-lasting glucose control throughout the day. It helps improve insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production in the liver, promoting better glycemic balance without significant sugar fluctuations.
