Sitamax M 50mg/1000mg Tablet

Sitamax M 50mg/1000mg Tablet is a dual-action oral medication used in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps control elevated blood sugar levels and may reduce the risk of complications such as kidney disease, vision issues, nerve damage, and cardiovascular events like heart attacks or strokes. This medication contains two active components—Sitagliptin and Metformin—that work together to regulate glucose more effectively than either medicine alone. Sitagliptin enhances the body’s natural incretin hormones, improving insulin production and reducing sugar release from the liver, while Metformin lowers glucose output by the liver, reduces sugar absorption from the gut, and increases insulin sensitivity. The tablet should be taken with meals to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort. For optimal results, it should be taken consistently at the same time every day as advised by your healthcare provider. It’s most effective when used alongside a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and weight management. Even if you feel fine, do not stop the medication without medical advice, as this may lead to a sudden rise in blood sugar levels. Common side effects may include diarrhea, headaches, or upper respiratory tract infections. If you’re also taking other diabetic medications such as insulin or sulfonylureas, be cautious of symptoms of low blood sugar, such as dizziness or sweating. Inform your doctor if you have any history of kidney or liver issues, heart problems, alcohol use, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as this may influence the suitability of the treatment. Avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication, as it can further affect blood sugar control and increase the risk of side effects. Kidney function tests may be recommended periodically during treatment. If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose—in that case, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to compensate for the missed one.
