How Alsita-E Tablet works
Alsita-E 10 Tablet is a combination of two medicines, empagliflozin and sitagliptin, which help control blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Empagliflozin works by helping the kidneys remove extra sugar from the body through urine. Sitagliptin helps the body release more insulin when blood sugar is high and reduces the amount of sugar made by the liver. By working in different ways, these two medicines complement each other and provide better blood sugar control than either medicine alone.
