How Sitagliptin Works

Sitagliptin works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which breaks down incretin hormones. These incretin hormones play an important role in controlling blood sugar by:

• Increasing insulin release from the pancreas after meals
• Reducing glucagon secretion (which lowers glucose production in the liver)
• Helping maintain balanced blood sugar levels throughout the day

Because it works in a glucose-dependent manner, Sitagliptin has a lower risk of causing hypoglycemia compared to some older anti-diabetic medicines.
