What is Zituvio used for?
Zituvio (sitagliptin) is a DPP-4 inhibitor. According to its FDA label (DailyMed), it is used:
- Along with diet and exercise, to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Zituvio comes as 25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg tablets in bottles of 30 and 90, taken once a day with or without food. The usual dose is 100 mg; the label lists the lower strengths for people with reduced kidney function. It isn't for type 1 diabetes and hasn't been studied in people with a history of pancreatitis. The label has no boxed warning. Your prescriber decides which medicine is right for you.
Is it safe to order Zituvio from Canada?
Many Americans do, but U.S. law and customs rules apply, and for Zituvio, compare the U.S. list price of Zydus's authorized generic before you order. Federal law generally doesn't allow individuals to import prescription drugs, though under its personal importation policy the FDA has long used enforcement discretion for some personal-use shipments, generally no more than a three-month supply (FDA). Congress has said enforcement against individuals should focus on imports that pose a significant threat to public health (Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act section 804(j)(1), 21 U.S.C. 384(j)(1)). You need a prescription from your doctor. New U.S. Customs rules for mailed orders start January 20, 2027.
