Description
DUVEL PLUS 50/1000MG Tablets – Pack of 14
DUVEL PLUS is a combination oral medication containing Sitagliptin 50 mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 1000 mg, designed to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. This dual-action formulation helps improve blood sugar control by utilizing complementary mechanisms.
Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that increases insulin release and decreases glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner, helping to regulate blood glucose levels naturally. Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and improves insulin sensitivity, promoting better glucose uptake by body tissues.
DUVEL PLUS is typically prescribed for patients who require enhanced glycemic control beyond what is achieved with either Sitagliptin or Metformin alone, often alongside diet and exercise changes. It helps reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications by maintaining stable blood sugar levels.
The usual dosage is one tablet taken once or twice daily with meals to minimize gastrointestinal side effects commonly associated with Metformin. Regular monitoring of blood glucose and kidney function is important during treatment.
Patients with severe kidney impairment, metabolic acidosis, or hypersensitivity to any components should avoid using DUVEL PLUS. This medication is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless directed by a healthcare provider.
