Indications & Clinical Uses

Sitagliptin is a DPP‑4 inhibitor used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus (monotherapy): lowers fasting plasma glucose and reduces HbA1c levels.
  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus (combined with metformin): enhances overall glycemic control.
  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus (as add‑on therapy): improves post‑prandial glucose regulation.

How It Works

  • Sitagliptin selectively inhibits the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase‑4 (DPP‑4), which degrades the incretin hormones glucagon‑like peptide‑1 (GLP‑1) and glucose‑dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). By blocking DPP‑4, sitagliptin increases circulating levels of GLP‑1 and GIP, leading to glucose‑dependent enhancement of insulin secretion, suppression of glucagon release, and delayed gastric emptying, thereby improving post‑prandial and overall glycemic control.

Side Effects

Sitagliptin may be associated with a range of adverse reactions, which are classified by frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects

  • Nausea
  • Headache
  • Upper respiratory tract infection
  • Nasopharyngitis

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Acute pancreatitis
  • Severe hypersensitivity reactions (including anaphylaxis)
  • Bullous pemphigoid
  • Marked hypoglycemia, especially when combined with insulin or sulfonylureas

Precautions & Warnings

When prescribing sitagliptin, clinicians should consider several safety measures.

  • Renal function: assess baseline renal function and adjust use in severe impairment.
  • Pancreatitis: discontinue if signs of acute pancreatitis develop.
  • Hypersensitivity: monitor for rash, angioedema, or anaphylactic reactions.
  • Concomitant hypoglycemics: use caution with insulin or sulfonylureas to avoid severe hypoglycemia.
  • Hepatic impairment: evaluate liver function; use with caution in moderate hepatic disease.
  • Store at room temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and heat.

Avoid Interactions

Sitagliptin can interact with several medicines, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Insulin: concurrent use may cause severe hypoglycemia.
  • Sulfonylureas: combined therapy can increase risk of hypoglycemia.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Rifampin: strong enzyme inducer that may reduce sitagliptin plasma concentrations.
  • Digoxin: sitagliptin may increase digoxin serum levels; monitor therapeutic range.
  • Diuretics (e.g., thiazides): may affect renal clearance of sitagliptin; monitor renal function.

Frequently Asked Questions

Maysiglu contains sitagliptin, which is prescribed to improve blood‑sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, usually as part of a comprehensive plan that includes diet and exercise.

Sitagliptin blocks the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase‑4 (DPP‑4), preventing the breakdown of incretin hormones GLP‑1 and GIP. Higher incretin levels stimulate insulin release and suppress glucagon when glucose is elevated, helping to lower blood glucose.

The appropriate dose of Maysiglu is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the individual’s clinical condition, renal function, and response to therapy. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.

Safety of sitagliptin in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using Maysiglu.

To request Maysiglu, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Maysiglu belongs to the DPP‑4 inhibitor class, offering glucose‑dependent insulin release with a low risk of hypoglycemia compared with sulfonylureas. Unlike metformin, it does not affect gastrointestinal absorption, and it can be combined with many other antidiabetic agents for additive effect.

Store Maysiglu at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the tablets in the original container, protect them from moisture, heat and direct sunlight to maintain potency throughout the shelf life.

Maysiglu is taken orally, usually once daily, with or without food. The tablet should be swallowed whole with water and not crushed or chewed unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.

Serious adverse events include acute pancreatitis, severe hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, and marked hypoglycemia when used together with insulin or sulfonylureas. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience persistent abdominal pain, rash, swelling, or signs of low blood sugar.

Maysiglu should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to sitagliptin or any component of the formulation, and in patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m²) unless dose‑adjusted by a specialist. Caution is also advised for those with a history of pancreatitis.
