Brief Description

Indications

Omarigliptin is indicated for the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes.

Pharmacology

Omarigliptin is a long-acting inhibitor of the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP- 4). DPP-4 rapidly degrades incretin hormones. Incretins lower blood glucose concentrations in response to a meal by increasing insulin and decreasing glucagon levels in a glucose-dependent manner. Thus, Omarigliptin’s mechanism of action augments the action of incretin hormones.
