Medicine information
Uses & overview
GLISITAPTIN 100 by Steris Healthcare delivers 100 mg of Sitagliptin Phosphate in a single daily dose. As a highly selective DPP-4 inhibitor, GLISITAPTIN 100 enhances the body’s natural mechanism for regulating blood glucose levels without causing sudden low blood sugar drops or weight gain. Key Uses & Clinical Benefits: Comprehensive Glycemic Control: Effectively lowers both fasting and postprandial (post-meal) blood glucose levels, helping patients achieve and maintain target HbA1c goals. Incretin Hormone Enhancement: Inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, prolonging the active life of naturally occurring incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) that stimulate insulin release after meals. Glucose-Dependent Action: Stimulates insulin secretion and reduces excess glucagon release only when blood sugar levels are elevated, ensuring superior clinical safety. Low Risk of Hypoglycemia: Highly reliable when used as monotherapy or combined with Metformin, as it does not overstimulate insulin release when glucose levels are normal. Weight-Neutral Profile: Unlike some conventional anti-diabetic medications, Sitagliptin Phosphate does not cause weight gain, making it an ideal choice for long-term daily management. How GLISITAPTIN 100 Works: Sitagliptin Phosphate selectively inhibits the DPP-4 enzyme, preventing the rapid breakdown of active incretin hormones. Elevated incretin levels signal the pancreas to increase insulin secretion and decrease excessive hepatic glucagon output in response to food intake.
