How It Works
Sitaglo M Forte 50mg/1000mg Tablet SR contains sitagliptin and metformin. Sitagliptin enhances the release of insulin from the pancreas, improves how your body uses insulin, and reduces extra sugar made by the liver. Metformin works by lowering glucose production in the liver, delaying sugar absorption from the gut, and improving insulin sensitivity. Together, they provide stronger and more effective control of blood sugar.
