Sitaglo M SR Tablet is a combination medicine used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps control high blood sugar when diet and exercise alone are not effective. By keeping sugar levels within range, it reduces the risk of long-term complications such as kidney problems, nerve damage, vision loss, stroke, and heart disease.

This medicine may be prescribed alone or together with other anti-diabetic medicines. The sustained-release (SR) form allows gradual release of the medicine for long-lasting control. Taking it with food helps minimize stomach upset.

To get the best effect, take the medicine regularly at the same time every day, and follow a healthy diet and exercise routine. Do not stop treatment suddenly unless advised by your doctor.

How to Use
Take Sitaglo M SR Tablet in the dose prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with meals. Do not chew, crush, or break it.

How It Works

Sitagliptin stimulates the pancreas to release more insulin, improves insulin efficiency in the body, and reduces sugar production in the liver.
Metformin decreases glucose formation in the liver, slows absorption of sugar from the intestines, and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
Together, they provide more effective blood sugar control than either medicine alone.
