Product Description
JANUMET CP XR 1000mg is a fixed dose combination medication containing Sitagliptin Phosphate (100.00mg/Tablet) and Metformin Hydrochloride (1000.00mg/Tablet). Sitagliptin Phosphate is an oral antihyperglycemic agent that helps regulate blood sugar levels by inhibiting the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4). Metformin Hydrochloride is a biguanide that works by decreasing glucose production in the liver, reducing intestinal glucose absorption, and increasing insulin sensitivity. This combination helps to control blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. JANUMET CP XR 1000mg is commonly prescribed as an adjunct to diet and exercise for better glycemic control.
