How It Works

Sitagliptin belongs to the DPP-4 inhibitor class. It increases the activity of incretin hormones, which helps the pancreas release more insulin when blood sugar is elevated and reduces the amount of glucose released by the liver.

• Swallow the tablet whole with water.
• It can generally be taken with or without food.
• Take it at the same time each day.
