ST GLIPTIN 3D 500 is a powerful triple-combination medicine used for the management of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It contains three well-known anti-diabetic ingredients — Sitagliptin 100 mg, Metformin Hydrochloride 500 mg (Sustained Release), and Pioglitazone 15 mg — which work together to control high blood sugar levels effectively.

In India, diabetes is growing rapidly due to unhealthy food habits, sedentary lifestyle, stress, and genetic factors. Many patients struggle to maintain proper blood sugar levels even after taking one or two medicines. In such cases, doctors may recommend a triple therapy like ST GLIPTIN 3D 500 for better and long-term control.

This medicine is specially designed to target blood sugar from different angles. It helps reduce fasting sugar, post-meal sugar, and HbA1c levels when taken regularly as advised. Along with proper diet, exercise, and regular check-ups, Sitagliptin 100 Pioglitazone 15 Metformin 500 supports better diabetes management and reduces the risk of complications.

Benefits

ST GLIPTIN 3D 500 provides triple-action control for better results.

1. Three Medicines in One Tablet

Instead of taking three separate tablets, patients get the benefit of all three medicines in a single combination, which improves convenience and compliance.

2. Controls Sugar Through Multiple Mechanisms

• Sitagliptin increases insulin release when blood sugar is high and reduces excess glucose production.

This combined action ensures better and more stable sugar control.
