Alsita-MP 1000 Tablet SR is a combination of three antidiabetic medications. Metformin decreases the amount of glucose you absorb from your food and the glucose made by the liver. It also increases the body's response to insulin, a natural substance that controls the amount of glucose in the blood (blood sugar levels). Pioglitazone works by enhancing cellular responsiveness to insulin and increasing insulin-dependent glucose utilization and disposal. Sitagliptin helps to control blood sugar levels by increasing substances (incretins) in the body that make the pancreas release more insulin. It also signals the liver to stop producing sugar (glucose) when there is too much sugar in the blood.

Prefer taking Alsita-MP 1000 Tablet SR after a meal or with a snack to reduce the chance of an upset stomach. Alsita-MP 1000 Tablet SR may cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) when used with other antidiabetic medicines, alcohol, or if you delay or miss a meal. Always carry some sugary food or fruit juice with you in case you experience hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) symptoms. If you get unusually thirsty, pass urine more frequently, and feel tired, let your doctor know. These are signs that there is too much sugar in your blood and your dose may need adjusting. Monitor your blood sugar regularly while taking this medicine. Lifestyle changes like low sugar diet, exercising, losing weight, not smoking, and cutting down on alcohol intake may help this medication work better.
