CompositionIstamet 50/1000 Tablet is used in adults to control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes. Keeping blood sugar steady helps lower the long-term risk of complications such as heart disease and kidney damage.
It combines sitagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) and metformin (a biguanide), which work together to raise the body's own blood-sugar-lowering substances and help the body use insulin better. Take it with food, exactly as prescribed, to reduce stomach upset. Keep taking it even when you feel well.
A balanced diet, regular physical activity, keeping to a healthy weight, and regular blood sugar checks all support diabetes control alongside this medicine.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or heart problems, or a history of pancreas problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Report severe or ongoing stomach pain, or unusual muscle pain and weakness, without delay.
