Alsita-M 100 Forte Tablet ER

Product Overview

Alsita-M 100 Forte Tablet ER combines two active ingredients designed to help control elevated blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Proper management of blood sugar with this medication can help prevent serious complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, and may also lower the risk of heart attack or stroke.

This tablet can be used alone or alongside other diabetes treatments. It is most effective when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual condition, blood sugar readings, and any other medications you may be taking. Taking this medication with meals can help minimize stomach upset.

To gain the full benefit, it is important to take the medicine consistently, at the same time each day, and not to discontinue it unless advised by your doctor. Maintaining the recommended diet and exercise regimen is essential for optimal diabetes control.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects include diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections, and headaches. If you are using other diabetes medications like insulin or sulfonylureas, there is a risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). It’s important to recognize the signs of low blood sugar and know how to respond appropriately.

Important Precautions

This medication may not be suitable for everyone. Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of kidney, liver, or heart disease, pancreas issues, or if you consume alcohol regularly. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this product. Since some medications can interact with Alsita-M 100 Forte Tablet ER, always share information about all drugs you are currently taking with your doctor. Alcohol consumption should be limited as it can lower blood glucose levels. Kidney function and blood sugar levels should be monitored regularly during treatment.

Indications

• Management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits

Alsita-M 100 Forte Tablet ER uses two medicines that work differently to reduce blood sugar. Keeping blood glucose under control helps lower the risk of severe diabetes-related problems such as kidney failure, eye damage, nerve injury, and limb loss. Additionally, it helps in reducing the risk of cardiovascular conditions like heart attacks and strokes. Consistent use along with diet and exercise supports a healthier lifestyle and long-term well-being.

How to Use

Take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with food. Do not chew, crush, or break the tablet.

Mechanism of Action

The tablet combines sitagliptin and metformin. Sitagliptin increases insulin secretion from the pancreas and reduces sugar production by the liver, while metformin decreases glucose production in the liver, slows glucose absorption in the intestines, and enhances insulin sensitivity. Together, they provide effective blood sugar control.
