4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
For adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, Sitagliptin Grindeks
is indicated to improve glycaemic control:
as monotherapy:

in patients inadequately controlled by diet and exercise alone and for
whom metformin is inappropriate due to
contraindications or intolerance.
as dual oral therapy in combination with:

metformin when diet and exercise plus metformin alone do not provide
adequate glycaemic control.

a sulphonylurea when diet and exercise plus maximal tolerated dose of
a sulphonylurea alone do not provide
adequate glycaemic control and when metformin is inappropriate due to
contraindications or intolerance.

a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) agonist
(i.e. a thiazolidinedione) when use of a
PPARγ agonist is appropriate and when diet and exercise plus the
PPARγ agonist alone do not provide adequate
glycaemic control.
as triple oral therapy in combination with:

a sulphonylurea and metformin when diet and exercise plus dual therapy
with these medicinal products do not
provide adequate glycaemic control.

a PPARγ agonist and metformin when use of a PPARγ agonist is
appropriate and when diet and exercise plus dual
therapy with these medicinal products do not provide adequate
glycaemic control.
Sitagliptin Grindeks is also indicated as add-on to insulin (with or
without metformin) when diet and exercise plus stable dose
of insulin do not provide adequate glycaemic co
