Uses

Sitagliptin is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is used in conjunction with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.

How it Works

How Sitagliptin works Sitagliptin is an antidiabetic medication. It functions by enhancing the release of insulin from the pancreas and reducing the levels of hormones that elevate blood sugar. This action helps lower both fasting and post-meal sugar levels.

Tremor
Anxiety

Be cautious while driving or operating machinery until you know how Sitagliptin affects you.

Stomach pain
Nausea
Vomiting

What will happen if I accidentally take more than the prescribed dose of Sitagliptin?

Taking more than the prescribed dose may lead to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Monitor your levels closely for 24 hours. Mild symptoms can often be treated with sugary foods, but consult your doctor for further guidance, as severe hypoglycemia can be life-threatening.
