Gliptins are well recognized substances modulating incretin system via inhibition of dipeptidylpeptidase IV. Their efficacy was demonstrated both in monotherapy and in combination with metformin, where they act synergistically. Hence, a better control of diabetes might be assumed. This short article aims to show current trends in their prescription in the Czech Republic.
Key words: diabetes mellitus – dipeptidylpeptidase IV – gliptins – oral antidiabetics
