Sitagliptin is an oral antidiabetic medication (DPP-4 inhibitor) used to treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) by:

• Increasing insulin release after meals.
• Reducing glucagon levels (which lowers blood sugar).
• Improving overall blood sugar control without causing weight gain.

Often prescribed alone or with metformin for better glucose control.

Side Effects:

• Common:

  • Nausea
  • Headache
  • Stomach pain
  • Mild upper respiratory symptoms (stuffy nose, sore throat)

• Serious (but rare):

  • Pancreatitis (severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting)
  • Severe joint pain
  • Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, difficulty breathing)
  • Kidney problems (if pre-existing kidney disease)

Precautions:

• Not for Type 1 Diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA).
• Monitor kidney function (dose adjustment needed in kidney disease).
• Be cautious in pancreatitis history—report any severe abdominal pain.
• May interact with insulin or sulfonylureas—risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
• Monitor for signs of allergic reactions (rare but serious).
