Metformin (500mg) + Sitagliptin (50mg)
Istaliptin M 500 Tablet treats type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps adults control their blood sugar levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity and production. This drug is often used when diet and exercise are insufficient to control blood glucose levels.
Istaliptin M 500 Tablet is a combination drug used to manage blood sugar levels in persons with type 2 diabetes. It contains metformin (500 mg) and sitagliptin (50 mg). Metformin works by decreasing glucose synthesis in the liver and boosting insulin sensitivity, whereas sitagliptin inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, increasing insulin release and lowering blood glucose levels. This combination improves overall glucose control and allows for more effective diabetes management.
Other possible adverse effects include headaches, dizziness, and a metallic taste in your mouth. Lactic acidosis (the accumulation of lactic acid in the blood) and severe allergic reactions are two rare but dangerous adverse effects. Seek medical attention if you have symptoms like unusual muscle pain, difficulty breathing, or a severe rash.
