The combination of sitagliptin (50 mg) and metformin (500 mg) is used for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It is prescribed as an adjunct to a healthy diet and regular exercise to improve blood sugar (glucose) control.

Uses

SITACARE M 500 is prescribed for the following conditions:

  • Blood Sugar Management: The two medicines work together to lower and control high blood glucose levels, both during fasting periods and after meals.: Prevention of Complications: By maintaining stable blood sugar, the medication helps prevent serious, long-term complications of diabetes, such as kidney damage (nephropathy), eye damage/blindness (retinopathy), nerve problems (neuropathy), limb loss, heart disease, and stroke.
  • Improved Glycemic Control: It is often prescribed when lifestyle changes (diet and exercise) and metformin alone are not enough to adequately control blood sugar levels.: Complementary Action: The combination provides an additive effect on glycemic control through different mechanisms, often with a lower risk of weight gain and abnormally low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) compared to some other diabetes medicines.

Important Considerations

Please keep the following points in mind while using SITACARE M 500:

  • This medication is for Type 2 diabetes only and is not used for Type 1 diabetes.: It should be taken with food to reduce stomach upset.
  • Alcohol should be avoided as it can increase the risk of a rare but serious condition called lactic acidosis.: Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and kidney function is important during treatment.
