Alogliptin (NESINA), a dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-4) inhibitor, was approved by the FDA on January 25, 2013 to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. This drug had been ...

The enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) prevents the inactivation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). Since GLP-1-based therapy is a promising novel treatment of type 2 diabetes, the strategy to ...

Depression risk for patients receiving GLP-1 RA was slightly higher than those receiving SGLT-2i and lower than those receiving DPP-4i.

The risk for moderate or severe COPD exacerbation was lower among those treated with SGLT-2is and with GLP-1 RAs versus DPP-4is.

SGLT2 inhibitors may help reduce the risk of nephrolithiasis in patients with type 2 diabetes, including those with co-existing gout. Recent large-scale studies support that sodium-glucose ...

GLP-1RAs were not associated with an increased risk for thyroid cancer relative to DPP-4 inhibitor use among an international cohort.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are not associated with an increased risk for suicidality compared with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 ...

is associated with a modestly lower risk for depression compared with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) use, according to a study published online February 25 in the Annals of Internal ...
