"Sitagliptin 100mg: Comprehensive Diabetes Care"

Introduction

ST-GLIPTIN 100 is a highly effective oral antidiabetic medication containing Sitagliptin Phosphate 100 mg, specially formulated to manage blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. As a selective DPP-4 (Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4) inhibitor, it enhances the body’s natural ability to regulate glucose without causing significant hypoglycemia or weight gain.

Composition Details

• Active Ingredient: Sitagliptin Phosphate

• Strength: Equivalent to Sitagliptin 100 mg

• Dosage Form: Oral tablet

• Therapeutic Class: Antidiabetic, DPP-4 Inhibitor

Mechanism of Action

Sitagliptin works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which is responsible for the breakdown of incretin hormones. These hormones:

• Increase insulin synthesis and release from pancreatic beta cells.

• Decrease glucagon secretion from alpha cells. This dual action improves glycemic control, particularly postprandial glucose levels, without causing hypoglycemia when used alone.

Uses of Sitagliptin 100 mg (ST-GLIPTIN 100)

ST-GLIPTIN 100 is indicated for:

• Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: As monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic agents (e.g., metformin, sulfonylureas, SGLT2 inhibitors, or insulin) when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate glycemic control.

 Note: It is not indicated for use in Type 1 Diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis.

Dosage and Administration

• Recommended Dose: 100 mg once daily with or without food.

• Dose adjustment is recommended in patients with moderate to severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease (ESRD).

• Must be used as prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional.
