SITAPRIL SITAGLIPTIN 100MG 30S

Sitagliptin is an oral medication used primarily for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to a class of drugs known as DPP-4 inhibitors, which work by increasing the levels of incretin hormones. These hormones help to regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas and decreasing glucagon secretion, which in turn lowers glucose production by the liver.

Sitagliptin is often prescribed alongside diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It can be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medications. The typical dosage is 100 mg once daily. Common side effects may include upper respiratory tract infections, headache, and gastrointestinal issues. It is important for patients to monitor their blood sugar levels regularly while on this medication and to consult their healthcare provider for any concerns.
