Product description & overview
Macsita-MXR 100/500 Tablet: A Comprehensive Solution for Blood Sugar Management
Macsita-MXR 100/500 Tablets, a combination medication containing Sitagliptin (100mg) and Metformin (500mg), is prescribed to help manage blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes. This once-daily tablet formulation delivers a precise dosage of each active ingredient for optimal treatment effectiveness.
Sitagliptin is an oral antidiabetic drug that works by inhibiting the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), thereby increasing levels of incretin hormones, which stimulate insulin release from the pancreas. Metformin, a biguanide medication, improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production in the liver.
Together, they offer a comprehensive approach to controlling blood sugar levels by:
* Increasing insulin secretion
* Decreasing glucose production
* Improving peripheral glucose uptake
It's crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medications, including Macsita-MXR 100/500 Tablets.
