How does CYBLEX S 30 XR TAB work?

This medicine contains two active ingredients: Gliclazide and Sitagliptin. Gliclazide belongs to a class of drugs called sulfonylureas, which stimulate the beta cells in the pancreas to release more insulin. Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 inhibitor that works by increasing the levels of natural substances (incretin hormones) in the body, which, in turn, boosts insulin release and decreases the production of glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar) from the pancreas.
