Active Ingredient & Action
Sitagliptin (Sitagliptin Phosphate Monohydrate) works by inhibiting the enzyme DPP-4, which is responsible for the breakdown of incretin hormones. This leads to an increase in the levels of incretin hormones, resulting in an increase in insulin secretion and a decrease in glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner.
