Glusimet XR Tablets 50/500mg — Sitagliptin & Metformin XR for Type 2 Diabetes
Glusimet XR 50/500mg Tablets combine Sitagliptin 50mg (a DPP-4 inhibitor) with Metformin XR 500mg (an extended-release biguanide) for dual-mechanism glycaemic control in Type 2 diabetes mellitus. The extended-release (XR) Metformin formulation provides sustained action and improved gastrointestinal tolerability. A valid prescription is required.
Key Benefits
- Dual mechanism: Sitagliptin enhances incretin activity; Metformin XR reduces hepatic glucose output
- Extended-release Metformin provides sustained blood glucose control with fewer GI side effects
- DPP-4 inhibitor (Sitagliptin) stimulates insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner
- Reduces HbA1c effectively as a combination therapy for Type 2 diabetes
- Weight-neutral profile compared to sulfonylurea-based combinations
How to Use
Take one Glusimet XR 50/500mg Tablet once or twice daily with meals, or exactly as prescribed by your physician. Swallow whole — do not crush or chew the extended-release tablet. Monitor blood glucose and HbA1c regularly.
