Description:
Sitagliptin 100 mg is an oral antidiabetic medication used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to the class of DPP-4 (Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4) inhibitors, which work by increasing the levels of incretin hormones. These hormones help regulate blood glucose by enhancing insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon release in a glucose-dependent manner.
Sitagliptin helps improve glycemic control by lowering both fasting and postprandial blood glucose levels. It is often prescribed as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic agents such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin to optimize diabetes management.
