How Sitaxa M XR Tablet Works

Sitaxa M XR 100+1000 Tablet contains:

Sitagliptin – Helps the pancreas release more insulin, improves the body’s use of insulin, and reduces excess sugar produced by the liver.

Metformin (XR – extended release) – A biguanide that lowers glucose production in the liver, delays absorption of sugar from the intestines, and increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

Together, they provide stronger and more effective blood sugar control.
