Stig-MT 50mg/500mg Tablet

Stig-MT 50mg/500mg Tablet is prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two medicines that work together to regulate blood sugar levels. By keeping blood glucose under control, this treatment helps protect against long-term complications of diabetes such as kidney disease, vision loss, nerve problems, and also lowers the chances of cardiovascular conditions like heart attack and stroke.

How to take
This tablet can be used alone or along with other anti-diabetic medicines, depending on your blood sugar status and the advice of your doctor. It is most effective when taken as part of a complete treatment plan, which includes a balanced diet and regular exercise. Taking the medicine with meals reduces the risk of stomach upset. For best results, take it at the same time every day and continue as directed. Do not stop the treatment unless advised by your doctor, even if you feel well.

Possible side effects
The medicine is generally well tolerated, though some people may experience diarrhea, headache, or symptoms of respiratory infection. If you are taking this with insulin or other diabetes medicines like sulfonylureas, your blood sugar may occasionally drop too low (hypoglycemia). It is important to recognize the signs of low sugar and know how to manage it quickly.

Precautions
Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney, liver, or heart problems, issues with the pancreas, or heavy alcohol use. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medicine. Some medicines may interfere with its action, so share the details of all drugs you are currently taking with your doctor. Alcohol should be avoided since it can affect blood glucose levels and increase the risk of side effects. Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood sugar is usually advised during therapy.

Uses
• Helps in managing type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Protects against diabetes-related complications affecting the kidneys, eyes, nerves, and heart

Benefits
Stig-MT 50mg/500mg Tablet combines two different mechanisms to lower blood sugar. Keeping glucose levels in range reduces the chance of long-term complications, supports better heart and kidney health, and allows you to lead a healthier and more active life. Consistent use along with lifestyle changes improves overall diabetes control and reduces health risks in the future.

How it works
This tablet contains sitagliptin and metformin. Sitagliptin improves the body’s insulin response and lowers sugar release from the liver, while metformin reduces glucose production in the liver, slows sugar absorption in the intestines, and increases insulin sensitivity in the body. Together, they provide more effective blood sugar management.

Safety information
Alcohol should be avoided during treatment. Information on pregnancy use is limited, so medical guidance is necessary. It is not considered safe during breastfeeding, as traces of the medicine may pass into milk. Driving ability may be affected if blood sugar becomes too high or too low. Patients with kidney disease should use this medicine cautiously, and it is not recommended for those with severe kidney damage. People with liver problems should avoid it.

Missed dose
If you forget to take a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If your next scheduled dose is near, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing routine. Do not take extra tablets to make up for a missed one.
