ALSITA 100 TABS

Description

ALSITA 100MG TABLET is an oral antidiabetic medication containing Sitagliptin, a Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. It works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones, which in turn stimulate insulin release and decrease glucagon secretion, leading to improved blood sugar control after meals. This medication is used to manage type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults when diet and exercise alone are insufficient. It is typically taken once daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider. Common side effects may include headache, upper respiratory tract infections, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Rare but serious side effects can include pancreatitis and severe allergic reactions. Patients should inform their doctor of any existing kidney or liver conditions, as dosage adjustments may be necessary. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended to assess the medication’s effectiveness.
