Sitara DM 10mg/500mg/100mg Tablet

Description

Sitara DM 10mg/500mg/100mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in adults. It combines three effective antidiabetic medicines—Dapagliflozin, Metformin, and Sitagliptin—to help control blood sugar levels through different mechanisms. This combination improves glycemic control when diet, exercise, and single-drug therapy are not sufficient.

Dapagliflozin helps remove excess glucose through urine, Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, while Sitagliptin enhances the body’s natural insulin response after meals.
