Sitabite E 25mg/100mg Tablet

Product introduction
Sitabite E 25mg/100mg Tablet is prescribed to manage type 2 diabetes. It works by helping the kidneys eliminate extra sugar from the body and by improving the action of insulin, which leads to better control of blood glucose. When used regularly along with a healthy diet and exercise, it supports long-term management of diabetes.

To achieve the best results, this medicine should be taken consistently as advised by your doctor. Using it on a regular basis helps keep blood sugar steady and lowers the risk of diabetes-related problems such as kidney issues, nerve damage, and heart complications. Even if you begin to feel well, do not stop the treatment without medical guidance since diabetes requires continuous care. Following a proper lifestyle along with medication enhances long-term benefits.

Some people may notice side effects while on Sitabite E 25mg/100mg Tablet. The commonly seen ones include urinary tract infections, fungal infections, respiratory infections, and headaches. These are usually mild and improve with time, but if they persist or worsen, your doctor should be consulted.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney or liver problems, heart conditions, or frequent urinary tract infections. This medicine is not intended for people with type 1 diabetes or those who have experienced diabetic ketoacidosis. Older adults, people on diuretics, or individuals prone to dehydration should take extra care, as the medicine may sometimes lower blood pressure. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should only use it after consulting their doctor.

Mode of action
Sitabite E 25mg/100mg Tablet combines two active ingredients: empagliflozin and sitagliptin. Empagliflozin helps the kidneys remove extra sugar through urine, while sitagliptin increases insulin release when blood sugar rises and lowers glucose production by the liver. By acting in different ways, they complement each other and provide improved control of blood sugar levels.
