WHAT SITAGLIPTIN SUN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Sitagliptin SUN contains the active substance sitagliptin which is a
member of a class of medicines
called DPP-4 inhibitors (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors) that
lowers blood sugar levels in adult
patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
This medicine helps to increase the levels of insulin produced after a
meal and decreases the amount of
sugar made by the body.
Your doctor has prescribed this medicine to help lower your blood
sugar, which is too high because of
your type 2 diabetes. This medicine can be used alone or in
combination with certain other medicines
(insulin, metformin, sulphonylureas, or glitazones) that lower blood
sugar, which you may already be
taking for your diabetes together with a food and exercise plan.
What is type 2 diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body does not make enough
insulin, and the insulin that
your body produces does not work as well as it should. Your body can
also make too much sugar.
