Drug Details
Sitagliptin, also known as Zituvio, is a medication prescribed to adults with Type 2 diabetes to help control high blood sugar levels. It is most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. As a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, sitagliptin boosts the body's insulin production while reducing the amount of sugar produced by the liver. This process is facilitated by increasing natural substances called incretins, which play a crucial role in managing blood sugar, particularly after meals. Proper management of diabetes with sitagliptin can help prevent complications such as kidney damage, vision loss, nerve issues, limb loss, and sexual dysfunction, as well as lower the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Sitagliptin is available in tablet form and is typically taken once daily. Common side effects may include a stuffy or runny nose and headache. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
