Overview
Glitamet 50mg/500mg is a combination tablet for type 2 diabetes that pairs a DPP-4 inhibitor (a ‘gliptin’, 50mg) with metformin (500mg). It is a prescription medicine used, alongside diet and exercise, to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes when a single medicine is not enough. The gliptin helps the body release more insulin when blood sugar is high and lowers excess sugar production, while metformin reduces the sugar made by the liver and helps the body use insulin better. Confirm exactly which gliptin Glitamet contains against the packaging.
Directions for Use
This is a prescription medicine. Take only as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. It is usually taken twice a day with meals (commonly morning and evening), swallowed whole with water. Taking it with food reduces stomach upset. Continue your recommended diet and exercise. Do not change the dose without medical advice.
Confirm the exact gliptin and dose against the packaging. Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, heart failure, or a history of pancreatitis. Metformin is paused around scans using contrast dye and during serious illness, dehydration or surgery. Ask your doctor. On its own this combination rarely causes low blood sugar, but the risk rises with insulin or sulfonylureas. Seek urgent help for severe abdominal pain, or unusual muscle pain with breathing difficulty. Store below 30°C.
