Macsita-M 50 mg/1000 mg Tablet 10's
Macsita-M 50/1000Mg Tab is used to treat Type 2 diabetes. It contains Sitagliptin and Metformin, which work by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances that lower blood sugar when it is high. Also, it lowers glucose production in the liver, delays glucose absorption from the intestines, and increases the body's sensitivity to insulin. Thus, it controls blood glucose levels from rising to very high after meals. The most common side effect is hypoglycemia (low blood glucose levels), characterised by dizziness, sweating, palpitations, hunger pangs, dry mouth and skin etc. So, to avoid hypoglycemia, you should not miss meals and should also carry some form of sugar with you. Other side effects include taste change, nausea, diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, and upper respiratory symptoms.

About Macsita-M 50/1000Mg Tab
Macsita-M 50/1000Mg Tab is a combination drug of Sitagliptin (DPP4 inhibitors) and Metformin (Biguanides), belonging to the class of anti-diabetic agents used to treat type II diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which either the body stops producing enough insulin (the hormone which helps to decrease sugar levels in the blood), or there is resistance to the action of insulin. As a result, insulin is produced in large amounts, but it cannot act on the body's organs.
Sitagliptin belongs to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors that work by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances that lower blood sugar when it is high. Another medicine, Metformin, belongs to the class of biguanides that lower glucose production in the liver, delay glucose absorption from the intestines, and increase the body's sensitivity to insulin. Thus, Macsita-M 50/1000Mg Tab controls blood glucose levels from rising to very high levels after meals.
Macsita-M 50/1000Mg Tab should be taken with food to avoid an upset stomach. Macsita-M 50/1000Mg Tab should be taken at the same time of the day each time for best results.

Other side effects include taste change, nausea, diarrhoea, stomach pain, headache, and upper respiratory symptoms.
Macsita-M 50/1000Mg Tab should not be stopped even if you feel better, without consulting the doctor as your sugar level keeps changing.
