Alsita-M 100 Tablet ER

Product Overview

Alsita-M 100 Tablet ER combines two active ingredients to help manage elevated blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Proper blood sugar control can prevent serious diabetes-related complications, including kidney damage, vision loss, and may also reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes.

This medication may be prescribed alone or alongside other diabetes treatments and works most effectively when paired with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Your healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage based on your condition, blood glucose levels, and any other medications you are taking. Taking this tablet with meals can help reduce the risk of stomach discomfort.

For best results, it is important to take this medicine consistently at the same time every day and to continue use unless advised otherwise by your doctor. Following the prescribed diet and exercise plan is a critical part of managing your diabetes effectively.

Common Side Effects

Typical side effects may include diarrhea, upper respiratory infections, and headaches. If you are also using other diabetes medications such as insulin or sulfonylureas, there is a risk of experiencing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Knowing how to recognize and manage low blood sugar is important.

Precautions

Not everyone can use this medication safely. Before starting, inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney, liver, or heart issues, pancreas problems, or if you consume alcohol regularly. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before use. Since Alsita-M 100 Tablet ER may interact with other medicines, provide your doctor with a full list of your current medications. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can lower blood glucose levels. Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood sugar levels will be performed during treatment.

Uses

• Management of Type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits

Alsita-M 100 Tablet ER contains two medications that work in complementary ways to reduce blood sugar levels. Maintaining blood sugar within a healthy range is essential to lowering the risk of diabetes complications such as kidney and eye damage, nerve damage, and limb loss. Good diabetes control also decreases the likelihood of heart disease and stroke. Consistent use of this medicine alongside a healthy lifestyle will support your long-term health and daily well-being.

How to Take

Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and duration. Swallow the tablet whole with food; do not chew, crush, or break it.

How It Works

This tablet combines sitagliptin and metformin. Sitagliptin boosts insulin release from the pancreas, improves the body’s use of insulin, and reduces excess glucose production by the liver. Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver, slows glucose absorption in the intestines, and enhances insulin sensitivity. Together, these actions help maintain better blood sugar control.

• Pregnancy: Consult your healthcare provider before use.

• Breastfeeding: Use caution and seek medical advice.

• Driving: Be aware that fluctuations in blood sugar may affect your ability to drive safely. Avoid driving if symptoms occur.

• Kidney: Use cautiously in patients with kidney disease. Dosage adjustments may be necessary. Regular kidney function tests are recommended.

• Liver: Not recommended for those with severe liver disease. Consult your doctor before use.
