What is Metformin Hydrochloride, Sitagliptin?

Sitagliptin+metformin Sandoz combines two oral diabetes medications to improve blood sugar control. This combination therapy is prescribed alongside diet and exercise for type 2 diabetes management. It is not insulin and does not replace lifestyle changes. Suitable for adults with type 2 diabetes seeking glycemic control.

What is Metformin Hydrochloride, Sitagliptin used for?

Sitagliptin+metformin Sandoz is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults when diet and exercise alone are insufficient.

This combination helps lower blood sugar levels and maintain glycemic control throughout the day.
