How to Use
Take Sitaglo M Forte 100mg/1000mg Tablet SR exactly as prescribed. Swallow the tablet whole with food. Do not break, chew, or crush it.

How It Works
This medicine combines sitagliptin and metformin. Sitagliptin helps the pancreas release more insulin, improves insulin action in the body, and decreases sugar production in the liver. Metformin, on the other hand, reduces glucose production in the liver, delays absorption of sugar from the intestines, and improves the body’s response to insulin. Together, they provide more effective blood sugar control.
