Sitabite 100 mg Tablet

Sitabite 100 mg Tablet is an oral diabetes medicine that contains sitagliptin 100 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the DPP-4 inhibitor class and is used to help improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Sitabite 100 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and is usually used along with diet and exercise, and sometimes with other diabetes medicines. It is not used to treat type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

How it works: Sitagliptin in Sitabite 100 mg Tablet helps the body release more insulin after meals and lowers the amount of sugar the liver makes. The tablet blocks the DPP-4 enzyme, which helps natural hormones called incretins work longer to reduce blood sugar.

Sitabite 100 mg Tablet is the full-strength sitagliptin tablet commonly used when a doctor wants the standard adult dose. Because it is a higher strength than lower-dose sitagliptin tablets, it is generally chosen for patients whose kidney function and overall treatment plan support 100 mg once daily. It is meant for people who have already been assessed by a clinician, not as a starting dose for everyone.
