About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Jankey M 500 Tablet PR is a combination oral hypoglycemic agent containing Sitagliptin 50 mg and Metformin 500 mg, 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 improving glycemic control through increased insulin release and decreased glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. Metformin, a biguanide, primarily acts by reducing hepatic glucose production, enhancing peripheral glucose uptake, and improving insulin sensitivity. The combination of these agents provides complementary mechanisms to achieve better glycemic control than either agent alone. Jankey M 500 Tablet PR is typically prescribed as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly in patients inadequately controlled on monotherapy. It is contraindicated in patients with renal impairment, metabolic acidosis, or known hypersensitivity to its components. Common adverse effects include gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort, with a low risk of hypoglycemia when used as monotherapy. Regular monitoring of renal function and glycemic parameters is recommended during therapy.

About Metformin
Metformin is an oral antihyperglycemic agent used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by decreasing glucose production in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity. Metformin is effective in controlling blood sugar levels and preventing diabetes-related complications. In summary, Metformin is vital for managing type 2 diabetes.
How It Works
Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and enhances peripheral insulin sensitivity, lowering blood glucose levels.
