Abstract:
Safety and tolerability of anti-diabetic drugs should be among the most concern when it comes to management of Type 2 Diabetes.With the understanding of functions of incretin and degrading enzyme dipeptidepeptidase (DPP-4),several DPP-4 inhibitors with different chemical structures are now available.They are welltolerated with few weight gain,hypoglycemia or adverse effects.Therefore,DPP-4 inhibitors are considered to be among the ideal anti-hyperglycemic agents.
