Pregnancy Category
Name :
Not Classified
Description
FDA has not yet classified the drug into a specified pregnancy category.
Mode of Action
Sitagliptin inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV), resulting in prolonged active incretin levels. Incretin hormones increases insulin synthesis and release from pancreatic beta-cells and reduces glucagon secretion from pancreatic beta-cells. Reduced glucagon secretion leads to decreased hepatic glucose production.
Interaction
Increased risk of hypoglycaemia when used in combination w/ sulfonylureas or insulin.
Pregnancy Category Note
Pregnancy
Limited available data in pregnant women are not sufficient to inform a drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy; no adverse developmental effects were observed when sitagliptin was administered to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at oral doses up to 30-times and 20-times, respectively, the 100 mg clinical dose, based on AUC
Poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy increases maternal risk for diabetic ketoacidosis, preeclampsia, spontaneous abortions, preterm delivery, still birth, and delivery complications; poorly controlled diabetes increases fetal risk for major birth defects, still birth, and macrosomia related morbidity
Lactation
There is no information regarding presence of drug in human milk, effects on breastfed infant, or on milk production; drug is present in rat milk and therefore possibly present in human; developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother?s clinical need for therapy and any potential adverse effects on breastfed infant from therapy or from the underlying maternal condition
