Janumet is a combination medication that contains sitagliptin and metformin. It is prescribed along with diet and exercise to treat Type 2 diabetes. Sitagliptin is in a class of drugs called DPP-4 inhibitors that work by preventing the breakdown of incretins, which are hormones that promote insulin release. In addition, sitagliptin helps decrease the production of sugar in the liver. Metformin is a biguanide that improves insulin sensitivity and decreases the absorption of sugars in the intestines.
Janumet is available as an oral tablet in strengths of 50 mg-500 mg and 50 mg-1000 mg. Janumet is typically taken twice daily with meals. However, the dosage you’re prescribed will depend on your overall condition. Your healthcare provider may start you at a low dose and gradually increase the dose to prevent side effects from metformin. Your kidney function may also be a factor in the dosage of Janumet.
Discuss your medical condition and current medications with your healthcare provider before taking Janumet. Follow your healthcare provider's medical advice before using this medication. Your pharmacist may also provide a medication guide and additional information on how to use this medication.
