Aloglip Tablet 25 mg contains Alogliptin Benzoate, an oral antidiabetic medicine belonging to the class of DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibitors. It is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes diet and exercise.

Alogliptin works by enhancing the body’s natural incretin system, which helps regulate blood glucose levels. It increases insulin release in response to meals and reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver, thereby helping maintain better blood sugar control throughout the day.

This medication is usually prescribed when lifestyle modifications alone are not sufficient or when additional glycemic control is required, either as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic agents.
