It is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, that improves insulin secretion and decreases glucagon production. It is employed in the treatment of type 2 diabetes to enhance glycemic control by regulating blood glucose levels.
Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the levels of blood glucose, or blood sugar, are elevated. Glucose, derived from the foods you eat, is the primary energy source. Insulin, a hormone, facilitates the entry of glucose into cells for energy. In diabetes, the body either produces insufficient insulin or utilizes it ineffectively, leading to elevated blood glucose levels. This prolonged condition can result in health issues, but proactive diabetes management can help prevent these complications.
