Sitamax M 50mg/500mg Tablet

Sitamax M 50mg/500mg Tablet is a fixed-dose combination medication used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains two antidiabetic agents—sitagliptin and metformin—that work together to control high blood glucose levels. Proper blood sugar control is essential in preventing long-term complications such as kidney damage, vision problems, nerve issues, and cardiovascular events like heart attacks or strokes. This tablet is often prescribed either on its own or alongside other diabetes medications, depending on individual patient needs. Its effectiveness is maximized when taken regularly along with a healthy diet and exercise plan. Taking it with meals helps minimize digestive side effects such as nausea or stomach discomfort. Patients are advised to follow their physician’s recommendations and take the medication at the same time every day. Skipping doses or stopping the medicine without medical advice could result in uncontrolled blood sugar levels and increase the risk of complications. Common side effects may include diarrhea, headaches, or upper respiratory tract infections. If used with other blood sugar-lowering drugs like insulin or sulfonylureas, there is a risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), so it’s important to recognize symptoms such as sweating, shakiness, or confusion. Not everyone is suited for this medicine. Patients with a history of kidney or liver disorders, heart disease, pancreatic issues, or those who consume alcohol heavily should inform their doctor prior to starting treatment. Alcohol should be avoided as it may interfere with blood glucose levels and increase the risk of lactic acidosis. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medicine. Your doctor may monitor your kidney function and blood sugar levels during treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness. In case you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it’s nearly time for the next dose—in that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to compensate.
