Jentin tablet 50mg

About Jentin tablet 50mg

Jentin tablet 50mg Uses

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus
• Blood sugar control alongside diet and exercise
• Used alone or combined with metformin or other diabetes medicines
• Long term glucose management

Drug Class

• DPP-4 inhibitor (gliptin)
• Oral anti-diabetic agent

What Experts Say

Sitagliptin blocks the DPP-4 enzyme, which raises natural incretin hormones after meals. This helps the pancreas release more insulin and lowers the amount of sugar the liver releases.

Jentin is taken once daily, with or without food, and works best when paired with a consistent diet and regular exercise. It does not typically cause weight gain the way some other diabetes medicines do.

Sitagliptin alone rarely causes low blood sugar, but the risk rises when combined with insulin or sulfonylureas. Report any unusual joint pain or signs of pancreatitis promptly.
