Gvia-M XR 50mg+1000mg Tablet (Sitagliptin + Metformin)

Gvia-M XR 50mg+1000mg Tablet is an extended-release antidiabetic medicine containing Sitagliptin 50mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 1000mg. It is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when treatment with both medicines is appropriate.

This combination works through two different mechanisms: Metformin helps reduce glucose production by the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, while Sitagliptin helps regulate blood sugar by increasing incretin hormone activity, which supports insulin release after meals.

How Gvia-M XR Works

Gvia-M XR contains two active ingredients:

Sitagliptin:

Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases incretin hormone levels. These hormones help stimulate insulin release when blood sugar is high and reduce glucagon secretion, helping control glucose levels.

Metformin:

Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves the body’s response to insulin, helping lower blood sugar levels.

Possible Side Effects

Some people may experience:

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

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