Description
TREVIAMET 50/850 Tablets (14’s) are a powerful prescription combination medication available at Gathimaini Pharmacy in Thika, Kenya, designed for the comprehensive management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Each film-coated tablet contains Sitagliptin 50mg and Metformin Hydrochloride 850mg.
This combination works through complementary mechanisms to effectively lower blood sugar:
- Sitagliptin (a DPP-4 inhibitor) increases the levels of natural substances called incretins, which stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin when blood sugar levels are high and reduce the liver’s production of sugar.
- Metformin (a biguanide) primarily reduces glucose production by the liver, decreases glucose absorption from the intestines, and improves the body’s sensitivity to insulin.
TREVIAMET 50/850 is typically prescribed as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adult patients with Type 2 Diabetes, especially when control is inadequate with metformin alone, or in those already taking both components as separate tablets. This combination helps to provide better control of both basal and post-meal blood sugar levels.
