Product Description

Istamet 50/500 mg is a prescription medicine designed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus effectively. It contains Sitagliptin (50 mg) and Metformin (500 mg) as active ingredients, working together to regulate blood sugar levels. Sitagliptin boosts the body’s natural hormone that controls blood sugar, while Metformin improves insulin sensitivity and reduces glucose production in the liver. This combination helps patients achieve better glycemic control alongside a proper diet and regular exercise.
