GLISITAPTIN M KIT

Managing type 2 diabetes mellitus requires consistent blood sugar control through a combination of lifestyle changes and appropriate medication. GLISITAPTIN M KIT contains sitagliptin phosphate and metformin hydrochloride, a dual-action prescription medicine designed to help adults with type 2 diabetes improve glycemic control when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient.

This combination tablet brings together two widely used antidiabetic agents that work through different mechanisms. Sitagliptin phosphate helps regulate insulin response after meals, while metformin hydrochloride helps reduce excess glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity. Together, they provide comprehensive support for maintaining healthy blood sugar levels.

Manufactured and marketed by Steris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., GLISITAPTIN M KIT is produced under WHO-GMP-certified quality standards to ensure consistent manufacturing quality and safety. The product is available as an enteric-coated delayed-release tablet in a strip of 15 tablets.

GLISITAPTIN M KIT is a prescription-only medicine and should be used only under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

What are sitagliptin phosphate and metformin hydrochloride tablets?

Sitagliptin phosphate and metformin hydrochloride tablets are oral antidiabetic medicines used for managing type 2 diabetes mellitus. This combination is prescribed for adults who require more than one medicine to achieve better blood glucose control.

The medicine combines:

Sitagliptin Phosphate—A DPP-4 inhibitor that helps increase incretin hormone activity in the body. These hormones help the pancreas release insulin after meals and reduce excessive glucose production.

Metformin Hydrochloride—A biguanide medicine that decreases glucose production by the liver, improves insulin sensitivity, and helps the body use insulin more effectively.

The combination provides a balanced approach to controlling blood sugar levels and supporting long-term diabetes management.

Uses of sitagliptin phosphate and metformin hydrochloride tablets

GLISITAPTIN M KIT may be prescribed for:

• Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Improving blood glucose control
• Supporting reduction of HbA1c levels
• Adults requiring combination diabetes therapy
• Diabetes management along with diet and exercise
• Long-term maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels

This medicine should be used as part of a complete diabetes management plan that includes proper nutrition, physical activity, and regular monitoring of blood glucose levels.

GLISITAPTIN M KIT is not intended for treating type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis.

How do sitagliptin phosphate and metformin hydrochloride tablets work?

GLISITAPTIN M KIT works through two complementary mechanisms to help maintain blood sugar balance.

Sitagliptin Phosphate Action

Sitagliptin blocks the DPP-4 enzyme, which normally breaks down incretin hormones. By increasing incretin activity:

• The pancreas releases more insulin when blood sugar rises.
• The liver produces less glucose.
• Blood glucose levels after meals can be better controlled.

Metformin Hydrochloride Action

Metformin helps lower blood glucose by:

• Reducing glucose production in the liver.
• Improving insulin sensitivity.
• Helping muscles absorb and use glucose more efficiently.

Together, these two medicines help manage blood sugar levels through different pathways, making the combination suitable for many adults with type 2 diabetes when prescribed by a doctor.
