Ulsita M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet

Ulsita M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet is a prescription diabetes medicine that combines sitagliptin 50 mg and metformin 500 mg in each tablet. It belongs to two anti-diabetic drug classes: a DPP-4 inhibitor and a biguanide. Doctors use Ulsita M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet to help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, along with diet and exercise. It is not used to treat type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

How it works: Sitagliptin helps your body release more insulin after meals and lowers the sugar made by the liver by supporting normal hormone signals. Metformin reduces the amount of sugar your liver makes and helps your body use insulin better, and the tablet form delivers both medicines together in one dose.

Ulsita M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet is a medium-strength combination tablet that pairs a full 500 mg metformin dose with 50 mg sitagliptin. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand here, this tablet is the specific product your doctor may choose when both ingredients are appropriate in this fixed amount. It is intended for patients whose treatment plan matches this combination dose and who can take a standard oral tablet.

• Type 2 diabetes blood sugar control
• Adjunct to diet and exercise
• Combination therapy when two medicines are needed
• Lowering fasting and after-meal glucose
• Long-term diabetes management

• Swallow the Ulsita M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• Take it with food to help reduce stomach upset from metformin.
• Take it at the same time each day to keep blood sugar control steady.
• Follow the exact schedule prescribed; some patients take it once daily and others may need it more than once daily depending on the rest of their regimen.
• Do not change the dose on your own, especially because this tablet already contains both sitagliptin 50 mg and metformin 500 mg.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next one; do not double up.

Each Ulsita M 50 mg/500 mg Tablet provides sitagliptin 50 mg plus metformin 500 mg. How often it is taken and the maximum daily amount depend on your doctor’s plan, kidney function, and your other diabetes medicines. This strength is prescribed as part of an individualized regimen, so your clinician decides the exact dose and any limits for you.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
