What it is for
- For adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: Sitagliptin/Metformin hydrochloride SUN is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in patients inadequately controlled on their maximal tolerated dose of metformin alone or those already being treated with the combination of sitagliptin and metformin. Sitagliptin/Metformin hydrochloride SUN is indicated in combination with a sulphonylurea (i.e., triple combination therapy) as an adjunct to diet and exercise in patients inadequately controlled on their maximal tolerated dose of metformin and a sulphonylurea. Sitagliptin/Metformin hydrochloride SUN is indicated as triple combination therapy with a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) agonist (i.e., a thiazolidinedione) as an adjunct to diet and exercise in patients inadequately controlled on their maximal tolerated dose of metformin and a PPAR? agonist. Sitagliptin/Metformin hydrochloride SUN is also indicated as add-on to insulin (i.e., triple combination therapy) as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycaemic control in patients when stable dose of insulin and metformin alone do not provide adequate glycaemic control.
