Sitagliptin 100 mg is an oral antidiabetic medication belonging to the DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibitor class. It helps control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, which stimulate insulin release and reduce glucagon secretion. Sitagliptin is usually prescribed along with diet and exercise and may be combined with other antidiabetic agents when necessary. It is effective in maintaining glycemic control without causing significant weight gain or hypoglycemia when used appropriately.
