Sitagliptin Phosphate, sold under the brand name GLISITAPTIN 100, is an oral diabetes medication that helps control blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to the class of drugs known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors.

How Does It Work?

Sitagliptin works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which is responsible for breaking down incretin hormones. These hormones are vital for the regulation of insulin and glucagon levels in the body. By preventing their degradation, sitagliptin increases the levels of incretin hormones, leading to better insulin secretion and decreased glucagon levels, thus aiding in blood sugar control.
