JM 50/1000 Tablet 1*10

JM 50/1000 Tablet is an oral anti-diabetic medication used to effectively manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains a combination of Sitagliptin (50 mg) and Metformin (1000 mg), which work together to improve glycemic control when lifestyle changes and single-drug therapy are not enough. It is typically used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan that includes diet and exercise.

Benefits of JM 50/1000 Tablet
• Helps lower both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels
• Reduces the risk of long-term complications related to diabetes
• Improves insulin response after meals and decreases liver glucose production
• Supports better glucose utilization in muscles and fat tissues
• Convenient dual-action formula in a single tablet for improved compliance

Possible Side Effects
Most side effects are mild and temporary. Commonly reported effects may include:
• Nausea or mild digestive discomfort
• Diarrhea or flatulence
• Headache or dizziness
• In rare cases, risk of lactic acidosis, especially in people with kidney or liver impairment

Seek medical attention if you experience unexplained muscle pain, difficulty breathing, or extreme fatigue.

How to Use JM 50/1000 Tablet
• Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor
• Usually taken once or twice daily with meals to reduce stomach upset
• Swallow the tablet whole with water, without crushing or chewing
• Do not skip doses and continue the treatment even if blood sugar levels improve

How It Works
This medicine combines two proven anti-diabetic agents:

• Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, lowers intestinal glucose absorption, and increases insulin sensitivity

• Sitagliptin enhances the body’s natural response to meals by increasing insulin release and decreasing glucagon levels through DPP-4 enzyme inhibition

Together, they help regulate blood sugar levels more effectively than either drug alone.

What to Avoid While Taking This Medicine
• Avoid consuming alcohol regularly as it may increase the risk of lactic acidosis
• Do not use with other drugs that may increase the risk of low blood sugar unless advised
• Refrain from taking the tablet if you have severe kidney or liver problems unless specifically prescribed
• Do not stop or change the dose without consulting your healthcare provider

Safety Advice and Precautions
• Kidney function should be assessed before and during use
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before use
• Use with caution in elderly individuals or those with dehydration or infection
• Inform your doctor if you are undergoing any surgery or imaging with contrast dye
• Routine monitoring of blood sugar levels and vitamin B12 may be recommended
