Diapride MS 1 Forte Tablet

Description

Diapride MS 1 Forte Tablet is a triple combination oral anti-diabetic medicine designed to effectively manage Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It combines three powerful agents — Sitagliptin (50mg), Glimepiride (1mg), and Metformin (1000mg) — that work together to maintain stable blood glucose levels throughout the day.

• Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, increases levels of incretin hormones that help the body release more insulin after meals and reduce sugar production in the liver.

• Glimepiride, a sulfonylurea, stimulates the pancreas to produce more insulin.

• Metformin, a biguanide, decreases glucose production in the liver and enhances the body’s sensitivity to insulin.

Together, these components help regulate fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels, improve insulin efficiency, and reduce the risk of long-term diabetes-related complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, and cardiovascular disease.

This combination is especially beneficial for patients whose blood sugar levels are not adequately controlled by dual therapy (e.g., Metformin + Glimepiride).
