Product Description:
- Gleptal 50mg Tablet belongs to a class of anti-diabetic drugs called 'dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4)' inhibitors used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, especially in patients whose blood sugar levels are not controlled by diet and exercise alone.
- Gleptal 50mg Tablet may be used alone or in combination with other medicines.
- Type 2 diabetes is a chronic (long-lasting) condition that affects the way our body processes glucose.
- People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or cannot perform its function in the body (insulin resistance).
- Gleptal 50mg Tablet works by preventing the breakdown of a chemical messenger called the 'incretin' hormone.
- This hormone is released after the meal to stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas.
- Gleptal 50mg Tablet increases the level of 'incretin' hormone so that sufficient insulin can be produced from the pancreas to lower raised blood sugar levels.
- Thus, Gleptal 50mg Tablet helps in controlling blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
