Gvia-M 50mg+1000mg Tablet is an oral antidiabetic medicine containing Sitagliptin 50mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 1000mg. It is prescribed along with diet and exercise to improve blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when treatment with both medicines is suitable.

This combination provides dual action for diabetes management. Metformin helps reduce glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, while Sitagliptin helps regulate blood sugar by increasing incretin hormone activity, which supports insulin release when glucose levels are elevated.

How Gvia-M Works

Sitagliptin:

Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases incretin hormone activity. This helps the body release insulin when blood glucose is high and reduces glucagon release, helping maintain better glucose control.

Metformin:

Metformin decreases glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin, allowing better use of glucose by body tissues.

Possible Side Effects

Some people may experience:

• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Stomach discomfort
• Gas or bloating
• Loss of appetite
• Headache
• Low blood sugar (especially when combined with other diabetes medicines)

Rare but serious side effects may include lactic acidosis associated with Metformin. Seek medical advice if you experience severe weakness, breathing difficulty, unusual muscle pain, or persistent vomiting.
