<18 years: Safety and efficacy not established
Renal Dose
Renal impairment
Obtain eGFR before starting metformin
eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m²: Contraindicated
eGFR 30-45 mL/min/1.73 m²: Not recommended to initiate treatment
Monitor eGFR at least annually or more often for those at risk for renal impairment (eg, elderly)
If eGFR falls below 45mL/min/1.73 m² while taking metformin, risks and benefits of continuing therapy should be evaluated
If eGFR falls below 30 mL/min/1.73 m²: while taking metformin, discontinue the drug
Contraindication
Renal dysfunction, e.g., serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL [males], >1.4 mg/dL [females] or abnormal creatinine clearance.
Metabolic acidosis, including diabetic ketoacidosis. History of a serious hypersensitivity reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis or angioedema) to Sitagliptin + Metformin or to one of its components.
Mode of Action
Sitagliptin: Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, thereby increasing and prolonging incretin hormone activity which are inactivated by DPP-4 enzyme. Incretins increase insulin release and synthesis from pancreatic beta cells and reduce glucagon secretion pancreatic alpha cells.
Metformin: Biguanide; acts by decreasing endogenous hepatic glucose production, decreases intestinal absorption of glucose, and improves insulin sensitivity by increasing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization; improves glucose tolerance and lowers both basal and postprandial plasma glucose .
Precaution
Not for use in type 1 DM or treatment of ketoacidosis. Discontinue use if pancreatitis is suspected. Renal & hepatic impairment. Sulfonylurea- or insulin-induced hypoglycemia, risk of lactic acidosis, hypoxic states, surgical procedures, alcohol intake, decreased vit B12 absorption, loss of glycemic control. Pregnancy. Elderly. Childn <18 yr.

Interaction

Potentially Fatal: Concurrent use w/ iodinated contrast agents may increase the risk of metformin-induced lactic acidosis.
