It is used with diet and exercise: • in patients who are not satisfactorily controlled on metformin (an antidiabetes medicine) alone; • in patients who are already taking a combination of sitagliptin and metformin as separate tablets; • in combination with a sulphonylurea (another type of antidiabetes medicine) when the combination of a sulphonylurea and metformin is not sufficient to give satisfactory control of the patient’ s diabetes.
Ravimit kasutatakse koos dieedi ja füüsilise koormusega: • patsientidel, kelle glükoosisisaldust ainult metformiiniga (diabeediravim) ei saa rahuldavalt reguleerida; • patsientidel, kes juba saavad sitagliptiini ja metformiini eraldi tablettidena; • koos sulfonüüluurearavimiga (samuti diabeediravim), kui sulfonüüluurearavim ja metformiin ei anna patsiendi diabeediravis rahuldavat tulemust.
