PANSIPTIN FILM COATED TABLETS 100MG

[SIN17192P]

Indication

INDICATIONS:
Monotherapy
Sitagliptin is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Combination with Metformin
Sitagliptin is indicated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control in combination with metformin as initial therapy or when the single agent alone, with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycemic control.

Combination with a Sulfonylurea
Sitagliptin is indicated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control in combination with a sulfonylurea when treatment with the single agent alone, with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycemic control.

Combination with a PPARγ agonist
Sitagliptin is indicated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control in combination with a PPARY agonist (e.g., thiazolidinediones) when the single agent alone, with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycemic control.

Combination with Metformin and a Sulfonylurea
Sitagliptin is indicated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control in combination with metformin and a sulfonylurea when dual therapy with these agents, with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycemic control.

Combination with Insulin
Sitagliptin is also indicated as add-on to insulin (with or without metformin) when diet and exercise plus stable dose of insulin do not provide adequate glycemic control.

Important Limitations of Use
Sitagliptin should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis, as it would not be effective in these settings.
Sitagliptin has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis. It is unknown whether patients with a history of pancreatitis are at increased risk for the development of pancreatitis while using Sitagliptin.

Dosing

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Recommended Dosing
The recommended dose of Sitagliptin is 100 mg once daily. Sitagliptin can be taken with or without food.

Recommendations For Use In Renal Impairment
Because there is a dosage adjustment based upon renal function, assessment of renal function is recommended prior to initiation of Sitagliptin and periodically thereafter.
For patients with mild renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73 m² to < 90 mL/min/1.73 m²), no dosage adjustment for Sitagliptin is required.
For patients with moderate renal impairment (eGFR ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m² to < 60 mL/min/1.73 m²), no dosage adjustment for Sitagliptin is required.
For patients with moderate renal impairment (eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m² to < 45 mL/min/1.73 m²), the dose of Sitagliptin is 50 mg once daily.
For patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR ≥ 15 mL/min/1.73 m² to < 30 mL/min/1.73 m²) or with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) (eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73 m²), including those requiring hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, the dose of Sitagliptin is 25 mg once daily. Sitagliptin may be administered without regard to the timing of dialysis.

Concomitant use with an Insulin Secretagogue (e.g., Sulfonylurea) or with Insulin
When Sitagliptin is used in combination with an insulin secretagogue (e.g., sulfonylurea) or with insulin, a lower dose of the insulin secretagogue or insulin may be required to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia.

Contraindications

CONTRAINDICATION
History of a serious hypersensitivity reaction to sitagliptin, such as anaphylaxis or angioedema.
