Januvia 100 mg (sitagliptin) is a prescription oral tablet, belonging to the DPP-4 inhibitor class, used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes. Taken once daily with or without food, it works by increasing insulin release and decreasing glucagon levels after meals.
Key Details and Usage:

Mechanism: Inhibits the enzyme DPP-4, which breaks down incretin hormones, thereby increasing insulin production and reducing sugar production by the liver.
Indication: Used to improve blood sugar levels alongside diet and exercise, either alone or with other medications (e.g., metformin, insulin).
