Sitagliptin-Metformin Combo, Synergistically Works Against Type 2 Diabetes
Filed in archive Research , Treatment by Gloria Gamat on September 19, 2007

When combined together in people with type 2 diabetes, sitagliptin and metformin improves blood sugar control in a synergistic fashion, according to a new study by Merck Research Laboratories.
"This was significantly better than results with a single drug and "demonstrated an additive response."
There was a low incidence of hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, which was not significantly different from that in the placebo group.
This study shows that the combination of sitagliptin and metformin provides "substantial and additive" improvement in blood sugar levels and is "generally well tolerated."
