Sitapride-M 100/1000 Tablet operates through the combined action of its two active ingredients:

• Metformin (1000 mg): Metformin works by decreasing the production of glucose in your liver. It also reduces the absorption of glucose from your intestines and enhances your body's sensitivity to insulin. This increases the usage and absorption of glucose by your peripheral tissues, thereby reducing your blood sugar levels.

• Sitagliptin (100 mg): Sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, functions by increasing the levels of active incretin hormones. Incretins help in controlling blood sugar by increasing insulin release, especially after a meal. They also reduce the amount of glucose your liver makes. By inhibiting the enzyme DPP-4, sitagliptin increases the levels of incretin hormones, which helps to control blood sugar levels by increasing insulin release and reducing glucose production.

• Aim to maintain a balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. These foods can help control your blood sugar levels.
