About this product

Overview

Glyzia 50mg Tablet contains Sitagliptin as its active ingredient, which belongs to the class of medications known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. Sitagliptin works by increasing the levels of incretin hormones in the body, which stimulate the release of insulin and inhibit the release of glucagon, thereby helping to regulate blood sugar levels. This medication is primarily prescribed for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Uses

Glyzia 50mg Tablet is indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It helps control blood sugar levels by:

  1. Stimulating insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells.
  2. Suppressing glucagon secretion from pancreatic alpha cells.
  3. Slowing gastric emptying.
  4. Reducing hepatic glucose production.

Side Effects

Common side effects associated with Glyzia 50mg Tablet may include:

  • Headache
  • Upper respiratory tract infection
  • Nasopharyngitis
  • Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) when used in combination with insulin or sulfonylureas
  • Pancreatitis (rare)

Patients should seek medical attention if they experience any severe or persistent side effects.

Precautions

  • Glyzia 50mg Tablet should be used with caution in patients with a history of pancreatitis or kidney problems.
  • It may cause hypoglycemia, particularly when used in combination with insulin or sulfonylureas. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended.
  • Dosage adjustments may be necessary in patients with renal impairment.
