📄 Long Description
Indications:
SITAZID M 50/1000 is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when treatment with both Sitagliptin and Metformin is appropriate.
Pharmacology:
-
Sitagliptin: A DPP-4 inhibitor that increases the levels of incretin hormones, enhancing insulin secretion and decreasing glucagon levels in a glucose-dependent manner.
-
Metformin: A biguanide that decreases hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.
Dosage:
-
Adults: One tablet (Sitagliptin 50mg + Metformin 1000mg) taken orally twice daily with meals. Dosage should be individualized based on the patient's current regimen, effectiveness, and tolerability.
Administration:
Take SITAZID M 50/1000 with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew.
Interaction:
-
Alcohol: Increases the risk of lactic acidosis.
-
Cationic drugs (e.g., amiloride, digoxin): May compete for common renal tubular transport systems, increasing metformin levels.
-
Insulin or insulin secretagogues: May increase the risk of hypoglycemia when used concomitantly.
Contraindications:
-
Renal impairment (e.g., serum creatinine ≥1.5 mg/dL in males or ≥1.4 mg/dL in females)
-
Acute or chronic metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis
-
Hypersensitivity to Sitagliptin, Metformin, or any component of the formulation
Side Effects:
Common side effects include:
-
Diarrhea
-
Nausea
-
Vomiting
-
Headache
-
Upper respiratory tract infection
-
Hypoglycemia (especially when combined with insulin or sulfonylureas)
Pregnancy & Lactation:
-
Pregnancy: Use only if clearly needed and if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
-
Lactation: It is unknown whether Sitagliptin or Metformin is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when administered to a nursing woman.
Precautions & Warnings:
-
Monitor renal function before initiating therapy and periodically thereafter.
-
Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment.
-
Discontinue in cases of dehydration, severe infection, or hypoxemia.
-
Temporarily discontinue before any radiologic studies involving intravascular administration of iodinated contrast materials.
Therapeutic Class:
Combination oral hypoglycemic preparations
Storage Conditions:
Store at a temperature below 30°C. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
