Silinor-M Tablet 50 mg+500 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 500 mg, a biguanide. This combination provides dual mechanisms of action to improve overall blood glucose control.

It is commonly prescribed when diet, exercise, and single-drug therapy are not sufficient to maintain target blood sugar levels.

Composition

• Sitagliptin 50 mg
• Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg

Indications

Silinor-M Tablet 50 mg + 500 mg is indicated for:

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Inadequate glycemic control with monotherapy
• Combination therapy for improved blood sugar management
• Control of fasting and post-meal glucose levels

How Silinor-M Tablet Works

This combination works through two complementary mechanisms:

• Sitagliptin: Inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, increasing incretin levels, which enhances insulin release and reduces glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner.
• Metformin: Decreases glucose production in the liver, reduces intestinal glucose absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity in peripheral tissues.

Together, they help maintain better overall glycemic control throughout the day.

Dosage and Administration

• Take as prescribed by a registered physician.
• Usually taken once or twice daily with meals to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Swallow the tablet whole with water.
• Dosage is adjusted based on blood sugar levels, kidney function, and treatment response.
