How Sitara-D Tablet Works
Sitara-D 50/5 Tablet contains two antidiabetic agents. Dapagliflozin works by increasing the amount of glucose excreted through urine, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. Sitagliptin helps by increasing insulin production and decreasing the level of glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar levels. Together, they provide better blood sugar control.
