GlossaryDipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors

block the enzyme DPP-4 to help regulate blood sugar

Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors, often abbreviated as DPP-4 inhibitors, are a class of oral medications used to manage type 2 diabetes. They work by blocking the enzyme DPP-4, which results in increased levels of incretin hormones. These hormones help to regulate blood sugar by increasing insulin release and decreasing glucagon levels, particularly after meals.
