Medication name: Vipidia Alogliptin 12.5 mg Tablets \u00d7 28
\nDrug class: Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor \/ Oral antidiabetic agent<\/p>\n
Use:
\nThis medication is used to control blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
\nIt helps lower blood sugar when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient and may be prescribed alone or together with other antidiabetic medications such as metformin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones, or insulin.<\/p>\n
How it works:
\nThe active ingredient, alogliptin, works by blocking the enzyme DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4), which is responsible for breaking down incretin hormones.
\nThese hormones help regulate insulin and glucagon levels after meals \u2014 increasing insulin secretion and decreasing glucose release from the liver.
\nThis mechanism helps improve blood sugar control without causing weight gain or severe hypoglycemia when used alone.<\/p>\n
