About Treviamet XR Tablet 100mg/1000mg

• Simplified once daily combination therapy

• Steadier blood sugar control throughout the day
• Fewer tablets needed compared to taking each medicine separately
• Generally gentle on the stomach compared to immediate release metformin

What Experts Say

Sitagliptin raises the levels of natural gut hormones that trigger insulin release only when blood sugar is high, while the extended release metformin component lowers sugar production in the liver over a longer period. Together these two mechanisms provide steady, all day blood sugar support from a single daily tablet.

Doctors prescribe this combination for patients who need more than one diabetes medicine but want to avoid multiple daily doses. The extended release formulation also tends to cause less stomach upset than standard metformin tablets. It fits well into once daily treatment plans for people managing several health conditions at once.

With type 2 diabetes affecting a growing number of adults in Pakistan, many patients eventually need combination therapy to stay within target blood sugar ranges. Extended release combination tablets are gaining popularity in local practice because they simplify daily routines for patients on multiple medicines. Doctors still recommend periodic kidney function tests during long term use.
