Product details
ST-GLIPTIN M 100/500 is an oral antidiabetic medication designed to help manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus effectively. It combines two powerful ingredients, sitagliptin and metformin hydrochloride, which work together to help control blood sugar levels in adults. Key Ingredients: Sitagliptin (100 mg): A DPP-4 inhibitor that helps increase the levels of incretin hormones, thereby stimulating insulin release and reducing glucose production by the liver. Metformin Hydrochloride (500 mg): A biguanide that improves insulin sensitivity and reduces hepatic glucose production. Key Benefits: Helps maintain healthy blood glucose levels. Enhances insulin sensitivity in the body. Lowers glucose production in the liver. Reduces the risks associated with high blood sugar, like cardiovascular complications. How Does It Work? Sitagliptin works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which prolongs the activity of incretin hormones. These hormones help regulate blood sugar levels by increasing insulin release from the pancreas and decreasing glucagon levels. Metformin acts primarily by reducing the amount of sugar the liver produces and increasing the body's response to insulin. Together, they help achieve better glycemic control.
