Is it safe to take Sitagliptin if I have chronic kidney disease or diabetic nephropathy?

Asked by Male, 47 ยท 10 days ago

Yes, Sitagliptin is generally safe for people with chronic kidney disease or diabetic nephropathy, as it can help effectively manage blood sugar without putting extra strain on the kidneys. However, your doctor will adjust the dose and monitor your kidney function regularly to prevent the medicine from building up in the body.
