ACOSITA M SR 100/1000MG TABLET is a combination of Metformin and Sitagliptin, which belongs to the group of medicines called Antidiabetic agents. It is used to control blood sugar levels in patients with type II diabetes mellitus, along with proper diet and exercise.
Type II diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by abnormally high levels of glucose in the blood. It is caused by inadequate production of a hormone called insulin (produced by the pancreas to metabolize glucose) in the body or by inadequate sensitivity of body cells to the actions of insulin.
Before taking ACOSITA M SR 100/1000MG TABLET, inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart problems. You must also inform your doctor if you have high blood cholesterol levels, severe systemic infections, or are severely dehydrated due to excessive vomiting or diarrhea recently.
During therapy with ACOSITA M SR 100/1000MG TABLET, your doctor might regularly monitor your blood sugar levels and kidney functions to avoid the risk of unwanted side effects. He might also ask you to make certain lifestyle changes, such as following a healthy diet, regular physical exercise, and quitting alcohol consumption, to achieve better results.
ACOSITA M SR 100/1000MG TABLET is not recommended for use in patients with severe, uncontrollable diabetes. It is also not suitable for use in patients with alcoholism, shock, or problems with breathing or blood circulation.

Consult your doctor if they bother you.
ACOSITA M SR 100/1000MG TABLET is an antidiabetic medicine. It contains two medicines, namely metformin and sitagliptin. Metformin makes the body more sensitive to insulin (a hormone involved in glucose metabolism). This helps our body cells utilize more of the circulating blood glucose. Additionally, it can stop glucose production by the liver and reduce its absorption in the body.
Teneligliptin controls blood sugar levels by blocking the actions of an enzyme called dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 that reduces insulin secretion in the body. Collectively, ACOSITA M SR 100/1000MG TABLET controls blood sugar levels and improves glycemic control in patients with type II diabetes.
