Product Introduction
Sitahenz GM 50mg/1mg/1000mg Tablet is a triple-combination antidiabetic medicine used to manage Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It is typically prescribed when diet, exercise, and other treatments alone do not achieve adequate blood sugar control.
This medicine should be taken regularly and at the same time each day to get maximum benefits. Your dose and duration will be determined by your doctor based on your condition and response. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels may also be recommended.
Important: Do not stop taking this medicine abruptly, even if your blood sugar levels are controlled, as this could increase the risk of complications. It should be used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan, including diet, exercise, and weight management.
