SITA-MET 50/500 SITAGLIPTIN 50MG/METFORMIN 500MG TABLETS 14’S

Sita Met 50/500 is a combination medication containing Sitagliptin 50 mg and Metformin 500 mg, primarily used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This drug helps control blood sugar levels in adults when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, which help regulate insulin and glucose levels. Metformin, a biguanide, enhances insulin sensitivity and decreases hepatic glucose production, making it effective in lowering blood sugar levels.

In Kenya, Sita Met 50/500 is commonly prescribed to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, particularly those who are overweight or obese. It is essential for patients to adhere to their prescribed diet and exercise regimen while using this medication. Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels is also recommended to ensure optimal diabetes management.
