Description and Usage:

Sita-Met is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: Sitagliptin and Metformin Hydrochloride. This combination is often prescribed to individuals with type 2 diabetes to help control blood sugar levels.

Sitagliptin (50mg):

• Class: Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) Inhibitor.
• Mechanism of Action: Inhibits the action of DPP-4, an enzyme that breaks down incretin hormones. This helps increase insulin release and decrease glucose production, leading to better blood sugar control.

Metformin Hydrochloride (850mg):

• Class: Biguanide.
• Mechanism of Action: Improves insulin sensitivity, reduces glucose production in the liver, and decreases glucose absorption in the intestines. It also enhances the utilization of glucose by peripheral tissues.
