Product introduction
Alsita-EM 10/1000 Tablet ER is a combination medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps control blood sugar levels by reducing glucose production in the liver, improving insulin action, and removing excess glucose through urine. This ensures better and more stable blood sugar management throughout the day.
Alsita-EM 10/1000 Tablet ER should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food, preferably at a fixed time each day.

The most common side effects include low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), headache, thirst, constipation, frequent urination, and urinary tract infection. Some people may experience dehydration, increased thirst, or ketoacidosis in rare cases. These side effects are generally mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
This medicine should not be used in patients with severe kidney impairment, end-stage renal disease, or diabetic ketoacidosis.

How Alsita-EM Tablet ER works
Alsita-EM 10/1000 Tablet ER contains three active ingredients: Sitagliptin, Metformin, and Empagliflozin. Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity. Sitagliptin enhances the release of insulin and lowers glucose levels after meals by acting on natural hormones (incretins). Empagliflozin helps the kidneys remove excess glucose through urine. Together, they provide a comprehensive approach to blood sugar control and help prevent complications associated with diabetes.
