Lupisit M 50mg/1000mg Tablet is a combination oral antidiabetic medication containing Sitagliptin 50mg and Metformin 1000mg, indicated for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, enhances the incretin system by increasing levels of active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), thereby promoting insulin release and suppressing glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. Metformin, a biguanide, primarily acts by decreasing hepatic glucose production, improving insulin sensitivity, and enhancing peripheral glucose uptake. The combination of these agents provides complementary mechanisms to achieve better glycemic control compared to monotherapy. Lupisit M is indicated for adult patients inadequately controlled on diet and exercise alone or on monotherapy with either agent. It is contraindicated in patients with renal impairment, metabolic acidosis, or hypersensitivity to its components. Common adverse effects include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort, which often diminish over time. Regular monitoring of renal function and glycemic parameters is recommended during therapy. Lupisit M should be used as part of a comprehensive diabetes management plan including diet, exercise, and weight control.
