Sitagliptin phosphate mrtoformin hydrochloride istamet tablet should be takeb before or after food ## Unless your doctor has instructed otherwise, it should be taken just before a meal, so it has time to start working, by the time you are digesting your food and may experience the most blood sugar fluctuations. The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, stomach pain, flatulence, and hypoglycemia. Is there anything else I can help with?

metformin ## There are a couple options to find what you are looking for. First there is a med called Januvia - this contains the active chemical Sitagliptin Phosphate and treats Type 2 Diabetes. As far as Metformin goes there are a number of other brand names, one of which is Janumet (containing the combination of Metformin Hydrochloride + Sitagliptin Phosphate) Hope this helps! ## best time to take drug ## In regards to the best time to take either one of these medications, it should be done just before a meal, such as right when you sit down to eat. Generally, they take about 15 to 20 minutes to start working, so if you take them that way, they have time to enter your blood stream and start helping control your blood sugar about the time you start digesting your meal. However, if you...

Please share information about this drug, what it is used for, etc... ## Based on the spelling, I think you may have meant to say "Januvia" (sitagliptin phosphate). Is that correct? Januvia is an oral prescription medication marketed for managing type-2 diabetes. MedlinePlus.gov states that it works by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances that lower blood sugar when it is high. According to the manufacturer's claims, Januvia can reportedly lower blood sugar more than Metformin alone and is said to be very powerful in that regard. Drug Class: dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors - (antihyperglycemic) Manufacturer: Merck & Co. Dosing: Januvia is said to be taken once a day with or without food. I hope this helps!
