1. What is Mapoli and what is it used for

This medication contains the active ingredient sitagliptin, which belongs to a class of medications called DPP-4 inhibitors (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors) that reduces blood sugar levels in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

This medication helps to increase the levels of insulin produced after a meal and decreases the amount of sugar produced by the body.

Your doctor has prescribed this medication to help reduce your blood sugar level, which is too high due to your type 2 diabetes. This medication may be used alone or in combination with other medications (insulin, metformin, sulfonylureas, or thiazolidinediones) that reduce blood sugar levels, and which you may already be taking for your diabetes along with a diet and exercise plan.

What is type 2 diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce enough insulin, and the insulin it produces does not work as well as it should. The body may also produce too much sugar. When this occurs, sugar (glucose) accumulates in the blood. This can cause serious medical problems, such as heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, and amputation.

diabetic ketoacidosis (a complication of diabetes with high blood sugar levels, rapid weight loss, nausea, or vomiting)
any past or present kidney problems.
