Trevia Tablet 50mg contains Sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor used to manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It works alongside diet and exercise to improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications.

Sitagliptin increases insulin release from the pancreas in response to meals and decreases glucagon levels, helping maintain steady blood sugar throughout the day. Trevia is often prescribed when diet, exercise, or other medications alone are insufficient to control blood glucose levels.
