Description
This medicine contains sitagliptin, an orally-active inhibitor of the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) enzyme, used as an oral hypoglycemic agent in Type II diabetes mellitus. Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is an enzyme that acts to inactivate glucagon like peptide-1(GLP-1). When sitagliptin inhibits DPP-4 then levels of GLP-1 will increase that results in increased insulin release from the body after taking meals and in this way glucose tolerance by the body will increase. For adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, sitagliptin is indicated to improve glycemic control as an adjunct to diet and exercise. Used in patients that show inadequate glycemic control by diet and exercise alone and for whom metformin is inappropriate due to contraindications or intolerance. -
