Product Description
Sitagliptin is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body does not make enough insulin, or the insulin that it makes does not work properly. This can cause high blood sugar levels (hyperglycaemia).Effective Management of Type 2 DiabetesSitagliptin Tablets work by enhancing the body's natural ability to regulate blood sugar levels. Through DPP-4 enzyme inhibition, they boost insulin secretion and lower glucagon, resulting in improved glycemic control for patients with type 2 diabetes. Their oral administration allows easy integration into daily routines.
