Medication name: Meligliptin Sitagliptin 100 mg Tablets \u00d7 30
\nDrug class: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor \/ Oral antidiabetic agent<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to improve blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
\nIt helps lower fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient.
\nMeligliptin may be used alone or in combination with other oral antidiabetic drugs such as metformin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, or insulin.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, sitagliptin, works by inhibiting the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4).
\nThis enzyme breaks down incretin hormones, which play a key role in regulating insulin and glucagon levels.
\nBy blocking DPP-4, sitagliptin increases incretin activity, leading to higher insulin secretion after meals and reduced glucose production by the liver.
\nThis action helps maintain stable blood sugar levels without significant risk of hypoglycemia or weight gain.<\/p>\n
Dosage and administration:
\nThe usual adult dose is one tablet (100 mg) once daily, taken with or without food.
\nSwallow the tablet whole with water \u2014 do not crush or chew.
\nPatients with kidney impairment may require dose adjustments as directed by a doctor.
\nTake the medication at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
\nContinue using it regularly along with diet and exercise as part of your diabetes management plan.<\/p>\n
Side effects:
\nMeligliptin is generally well tolerated.
\nPossible mild side effects include headache, sore throat, or mild digestive upset.
\nRarely, it may cause pancreatitis (severe abdominal pain), joint pain, or allergic skin reactions such as rash or swelling.
\nSeek medical attention immediately if you experience persistent abdominal pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or difficulty breathing.<\/p>\n
