Key Benefits & Uses

Active Ingredient & Action
Sitagliptin (Sitagliptin Phosphate Monohydrate) works by inhibiting the enzyme DPP-4, which is responsible for breaking down incretin hormones in the body. By inhibiting DPP-4, Sitagliptin increases the levels of incretin hormones, leading to increased insulin release and decreased glucagon levels in the circulation, thereby lowering blood glucose levels.
Important Notes
It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by your healthcare provider. NAT-SITAGLIPTIN may interact with other medications, including warfarin, and may increase the risk of hypoglycemia when used with sulfonylureas or insulin.
