Gemer Sita IR 50/1000/1 Tablet

Product Introduction

Gemer Sita IR 50/1000/1 Tablet is a combination medication used primarily in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It combines two active ingredients: Sitagliptin (50mg) and Metformin (1000mg), formulated to provide complementary mechanisms of action in controlling blood sugar levels.

Sitagliptin belongs to a class of drugs called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. It works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones in the body. These hormones help to regulate insulin production and decrease the amount of sugar made by the liver.

Metformin, on the other hand, is a biguanide antidiabetic medication that reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin. It also helps lower the amount of sugar absorbed from food and enhances the utilization of glucose by muscle cells.
