Sitagliptin, the active ingredient in Glipita, is a DPP-4 inhibitor. It works by slowing the inactivation of incretin hormones, leading to increased levels of active hormones and prolonged action. Incretin hormones like glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are released by the intestine, especially after meals, and regulate glucose levels by increasing insulin release and reducing glucagon secretion. Sitagliptin selectively inhibits DPP-4 without affecting DPP-8 or DPP-9 at therapeutic doses.

Glipita 50 works by slowing down the inactivation of gut hormones released after eating the meals. This kind of action increases the secretion of insulin and decreases glucagon release (a hormone that raises blood glucose levels), resulting in an overall increase in blood glucose control.
