NESINA - Canada Product Information


Nesina is a medication that helps control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It works best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Nesina can be used alone or with other diabetes medications such as metformin, sulfonylureas, pioglitazone, or insulin.


How Does Nesina Work?

Nesina belongs to a group of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors. It helps increase the levels of incretin hormones in your body, which increase insulin release after meals and decrease the amount of sugar your liver makes.
