Sitaday PM Tablet
Description
Sitaday Pm tablet is a combination medicine used to manage type 2 diabetes in adults. This medication is usually prescribed when diet, exercise, or single-drug therapy alone is insufficient to achieve adequate blood glucose control.
This medication works through three mechanisms to improve glycemic control. Sitagliptin increases the levels of hormones that stimulate postprandial insulin secretion and reduce hepatic glucose production. Metformin lowers glucose production in the liver, decreases sugar absorption from the gut, and improves the body’s response to insulin. Pioglitazone enhances insulin sensitivity, allowing the body to use its own insulin more effectively.
Sitaday Pm tablet should be taken exactly as advised by the physician, usually with or after meals, to reduce gastrointestinal side effects. Taking it at the same time each day helps maintain consistent blood sugar control and improves treatment adherence. Along with this medication, following a healthy diabetic diet, regular physical activity, and routine blood glucose monitoring are essential for optimal outcomes.
Some people may experience side effects such as headache, dizziness, mild respiratory infections, weight gain, numbness, or blurred vision. Low blood sugar can occur, especially if this medicine is taken with other antidiabetic drugs, meals are skipped, or there is excessive physical exertion. Carrying a quick source of sugar and recognizing early symptoms of hypoglycemia can help manage such situations promptly.
This medicine may not be suitable for everyone, especially individuals with kidney, liver, or heart problems, severe infections, or a history of alcohol abuse. Regular medical follow-ups are important for monitoring blood glucose levels, kidney function, and overall health. Always inform your doctor about other medicines you are taking and report any unusual symptoms such as swelling, sudden weight gain, breathing difficulty, or persistent tiredness.
