Gliclazide + Sitagliptin Uses

Gliclazide+Sitagliptin is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

How Gliclazide + Sitagliptin works

Gliclazide + Sitagliptin is a combination of two antidiabetic medications. Gliclazide increases the amount of insulin your pancreas makes. Insulin reduces blood sugar by helping the cells use/store glucose. Sitagliptin helps to control blood sugar levels by increasing substances (incretins) in the body that make the pancreas release more insulin. It also signals the liver to stop producing sugar (glucose) when there is too much sugar in the blood.

Upper respiratory tract infection, Nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages), Headache, Hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level), Abdominal pain, Nausea, Vomiting, Indigestion, Diarrhea, Constipation

Expert advice for Gliclazide + Sitagliptin

  • Prefer taking Gliclazide + Sitagliptin after a meal or with a snack, as this will reduce the chance of an upset stomach.
  • Gliclazide + Sitagliptin may cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) when used with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol or if you delay or miss a meal. Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) symptoms, such as fatigue, dizziness, cold sweats, tremor, and anxiety.
  • If you get unusually thirsty, pass urine more frequently, and feel tired, let your doctor know. These are signs that there is too much sugar in your blood and your dose may need adjusting.
  • Monitor your blood sugar regularly while taking this medicine.
  • Lifestyle changes like low sugar diet, exercising, losing weight, not smoking, and cutting down on alcohol intake may help this medication work better.
