Product information
About
Istamet 50/500 from Sun Pharma is a fixed-dose combination of sitagliptin and metformin used to help manage type 2 diabetes, often at the start of dual therapy.
Uses
- Type 2 diabetes blood sugar control
- Step-up from single medicine therapy
- Support alongside diet and exercise
- Doctor-advised diabetes regimens
How it works
Sitagliptin helps the body release more insulin after meals by boosting natural gut hormones, while metformin reduces sugar production by the liver and improves insulin sensitivity.
How to take
Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually with meals to ease stomach side effects. Swallow whole with water and keep regular meal timings.
Side effects
- Nausea
- Diarrhoea or stomach discomfort
- Headache
- Low blood sugar with other diabetes drugs
Precautions
Tell your doctor about kidney or liver problems and any history of pancreatitis. Limit alcohol. Seek help for severe abdominal pain or breathing trouble.
