Silinor-M Tablet 50 mg+1000 mg is a combination oral antidiabetic medicine used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains Sitagliptin 50 mg, a DPP-4 inhibitor, and Metformin Hydrochloride 1000 mg, a biguanide class drug. This dual-action formulation helps improve blood sugar control through complementary mechanisms.
Silinor-M is commonly prescribed when diet, exercise, and single-drug therapy are not sufficient to control blood glucose levels effectively.

How Silinor-M Tablet Works
This combination works through two complementary mechanisms:
-
Sitagliptin: Inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, increasing incretin hormone levels, which enhances insulin secretion and reduces glucagon release in a glucose-dependent manner.
-
Metformin: Reduces hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal glucose absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity.
Together, they provide effective control of both fasting and post-meal blood glucose levels with improved overall glycemic management.

Take as prescribed by a registered physician.
-
Usually taken once or twice daily with meals to reduce gastrointestinal side effects.
