Description and Usage:

Sita-Met XR is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: Sitagliptin and Metformin Hydrochloride. This combination is prescribed to individuals with type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control. Sita-Met XR is an extended-release formulation, which means it releases the medications slowly over an extended period.

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 leads to increased insulin release and decreased glucose production, helping to control blood sugar levels.

Metformin Hydrochloride (500mg):

• 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.
