TAGIP TABS 100MG
TAGIP 100mg Tablets contain Sitagliptin 100mg and are manufactured by Highnoon Laboratories Ltd. Sitagliptin is a DPP-4 (Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4) inhibitor used to improve blood sugar control in adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It works by increasing the body's natural incretin hormones, which help stimulate insulin release after meals and reduce glucose production by the liver. TAGIP is prescribed alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise and may be used alone or in combination with other antidiabetic medicines such as metformin, sulfonylureas, or insulin.
