How Silinor Tablet Works
Sitagliptin works by inhibiting the DPP-4 enzyme, which breaks down incretin hormones. By blocking this enzyme, it increases incretin levels in the body, leading to:
-
Increased insulin secretion when blood glucose is elevated
-
Decreased glucagon release from the pancreas
-
Reduced glucose production by the liver
-
Better control of both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels
This glucose-dependent mechanism helps reduce the risk of hypoglycemia when used alone.
