INTRODUCTION ABOUT SITAMAX D 5/100MG TABLET
SITAMAX D 5/100MG TABLET is a combination of Dapagliflozin and Sitagliptin which belongs to the group of medicines called Antidiabetic agents.

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body does not make enough insulin and the insulin that is produced does not work as well as it should.
