What is Sitagliptin?
Sitagliptin is an FDA-approved antidiabetic medication. It belongs to the class of pharmaceutical compounds called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors.
This medication is often prescribed for lowering blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes; a condition in which blood sugar is too high because the body does not produce or use insulin normally.
It works by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances that lower blood sugar when it is high. Just like Linagliptin, Sitagliptin also is barred from treating type 1 diabetes.
What are the uses of Sitagliptin?: Medical Conditions Treated by Sitagliptin
This is an exclusive medication for treating symptoms of only Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
How does Sitagliptin work?
It works by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances that lower blood sugar when it is high. Being inhibited by Sitagliptin DPP-4 slows the inactivation of incretins like GLP-1 and GIP. Reduced inhibition of incretins increases insulin synthesis and decreases glucagon release in a manner dependent on glucose concentrations.
How long does Sitagliptin take to show full results?
The blood sugar level tends to be in control after one to two weeks of treatment under Sitagliptin.
