Treviamet is an anti-diabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, sometimes along with other anti-diabetic medications. It helps lower blood glucose levels and improves glycemic control. Treviamet is a combination of sitagliptin and metformin. It is often given when metformin is not effective on its own.
