Treviamet XR Tablet 50mg/1000mg contains Sitagliptin and Metformin in an extended-release (XR) formulation, designed to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It combines two effective agents in a single tablet to help maintain stable glucose levels throughout the day.

Metformin reduces glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity, while Sitagliptin increases insulin secretion after meals and lowers glucagon levels. The extended-release formulation ensures gradual absorption, allowing once-daily dosing and reducing fluctuations in blood sugar levels.

Treviamet XR is ideal for patients who need convenient combination therapy to manage type 2 diabetes effectively alongside diet and exercise.
