LYPGEN 100 Tablet

What is Lypgen 100 Tablet?

Lypgen 100 Tablet contains Sitagliptin 100 mg per tablet. Sitagliptin works by increasing incretin hormones, which boost insulin release and reduce glucagon when blood sugar is high.​

Key Benefits

• Helps lower fasting and post‑meal blood glucose and improve HbA1c in adults with type 2 diabetes.​

• Low intrinsic risk of hypoglycaemia when used alone (without sulfonylureas or insulin) and is generally weight‑neutral.​

Uses & Indications

Doctors prescribe Lypgen 100 Tablet for:

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults, as monotherapy when metformin is unsuitable, or as add‑on to metformin, sulfonylureas, thiazolidinediones or insulin.​

• Patients needing an oral DPP‑4 inhibitor to help reach glycaemic targets alongside lifestyle measures.​

It is not indicated for type 1 diabetes or for treating diabetic ketoacidosis.​

Dosage & Directions

The exact regimen is set by the treating physician.​

• Usual adult dose: Sitagliptin 100 mg once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day.​

• Tablets should be swallowed whole with water; continue diet, exercise and other diabetes medicines as advised.​

Dose adjustment may be required in moderate‑to‑severe renal impairment, and regular monitoring of kidney function is recommended.​

Price & Packaging

On third‑party listings, Lypgen 100 Tablet is supplied as strips of 10 tablets.​

• Platform data show MRPs in the approximate range of other sitagliptin 100 mg brands, with net prices depending on retailer discounts.​

Side Effects & Safety

Common side effects of sitagliptin (and Lypgen 100) include:

• Headache, nasopharyngitis (sore throat, runny nose), mild gastrointestinal upset.​

• Hypoglycaemia, primarily when used with insulin or sulfonylureas.​

Serious but less common risks include pancreatitis, severe allergic reactions (angioedema, anaphylaxis), severe joint pain and potentially heart failure in predisposed patients. Sudden severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, rash, swelling of face or throat, or breathing difficulty need urgent medical attention.​

Precautions & Contraindications

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to sitagliptin or any tablet component.​

• Use with caution in patients with a history of pancreatitis, heart failure, or moderate‑to‑severe renal impairment; dose changes may be needed.​

Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding should be based on specialist assessment; alternative agents may be preferred.​
