General information
Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i) are a group of drugs used to control high blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. Some examples of DPP4i include sitagliptin or haloperidol. DPP4i usage has been linked to less severe COVID-19 cases. No significant differences were noted between patients in the use of metformin and DPP4i (Bramante et al., 2022).
