How much does a box of sitagliptin cost?

Sitagliptin (Sitagliptin) is an oral drug used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is a dipeptidyl peptidase -4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that increases glucagon (GLP-1) levels by inhibiting DPP-4 enzyme, helping to regulate blood sugar. GLP-1 is a hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits the release of glucagon, thereby lowering blood sugar levels. The main effect of sitagliptin is to enhance insulin secretion, especially after meals, and slow down the intestinal absorption of glucose. Patients usually only need to take it once a day, which has a relatively mild hypoglycemic effect and is often used for long-term management of maintaining blood sugar levels. Sitagliptin is already on the market in China and has been included in medical insurance. Patients can purchase it domestically. Please consult the local hospital pharmacy for specific prices.
