Mode of Action
-
Sitagliptin
Sitagliptin is a DPP4 Inhibitor which reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver, by raising insulin levels and decreasing the levels of the glucagon (the hormone that increases blood glucose level).
-
Dapagliflozin
By inhibiting SGLT2, dapagliflozin blocks reabsorption of filtered glucose in the kidney, increasing urinary glucose excretion and reducing blood glucose levels. Its mechanism of action is independent of pancreatic β cell function and modulation of insulin sensitivity
-
Metformin
Belongs to a class of drug called as Biguanides. It is used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by decreasing the glucose production by inhibiting gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis in liver.
Benefits & Usage
Sitagliptin is used along with diet and exercise and sometimes with other medications to lower blood sugar levels in adults with type-2 diabetes (condition in which blood sugar is too high because the body does not produce or use insulin normally)
