Obimet GX Sita 50mg/1mg/1000mg Tablet

Product introduction
Obimet GX Sita 50mg/1mg/1000mg Tablet contains a mix of three medicines that work together to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is usually recommended when diet control, physical activity, and other treatments are not enough to achieve proper blood sugar management.

This medicine is most effective when taken with meals. Use it at the same time each day to get consistent results. The exact dose and duration will depend on your medical condition and how you respond to therapy. Your doctor may also check your blood sugar at regular intervals while you are on this treatment.

Even if you feel healthy or your sugar readings look normal, you should continue taking this medicine unless advised otherwise. Stopping suddenly can lead to a sudden rise in glucose levels, which may increase the chances of complications. For best control of diabetes, this medicine should be combined with lifestyle changes such as following a balanced diet, regular exercise, and weight management.

Possible side effects
Some of the common side effects seen with this medicine include nausea, vomiting, digestive problems, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, constipation, headache, and episodes of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Most of these issues are mild and may go away as your body adjusts. If they persist or trouble you, inform your doctor, who may adjust the dose or suggest an alternative treatment.

Who should avoid this medicine
This tablet is not suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes, diabetic ketoacidosis, or other serious metabolic acidosis conditions. People who have current or past bladder cancer should also not use it. Always inform your doctor about any other medicines you are taking since they may interact with this treatment. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult their doctor before starting the medicine.

Uses
Helps in controlling type 2 diabetes mellitus

Benefits
Maintaining blood sugar within the recommended range lowers the risk of complications linked to diabetes, such as kidney failure, nerve damage, vision problems, and poor circulation that may lead to amputations. This combination medicine helps regulate blood sugar, reduces sudden spikes after meals, and may also offer protection against heart conditions like stroke and heart attack. Regular use, along with healthy lifestyle practices, supports long-term health and well-being.

How it works
This combination medicine acts through three different pathways. Sitagliptin increases natural hormones called incretins, which stimulate insulin release from the pancreas and reduce glucose production by the liver when blood sugar is high. Glimepiride makes the pancreas release more insulin and improves the body’s ability to use it effectively. Metformin decreases sugar production in the liver, limits absorption from the digestive tract, and makes the body more sensitive to insulin. Together, these actions keep blood glucose under control.

Important advice
Alcohol use should be avoided during treatment as it may increase the risk of side effects. This medicine may not be safe during pregnancy because animal studies suggest possible harm to the unborn child; your doctor will weigh the risks and benefits before prescribing. During breastfeeding, there is a possibility of the medicine passing into milk and affecting the baby, so medical guidance is essential. Sudden changes in sugar levels can reduce alertness and concentration, which may affect your ability to drive. Patients with severe kidney or liver disease may need dose adjustments under medical supervision.

Missed dose
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue as usual. Do not take two doses together to make up for the one you missed.
