Janumet is a prescription tablet that contains two chemicals sitagliptin (Januvia) and metformin (Glucophage). Janumet (Sitagliptin/Metformin) is used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in peole who have type 2 diabetes (a serious health condition when your body does not make enough insulin, and the insulin that your body produces does not work as well as it should). It is also for patients who have already taken either Januvia (Sitagliptin) or Glucophage (Metformin) and their blood sugar is not controlled well enough with just one medicine. Janumet (Sitagliptin/Metformin) is also prescribed for patients who are currently taking Januvia and Glucophage (metformin) together but as separate tablets.
Janumet (Sitagliptin/Metformin) works to improve the insulin levels after meals and helps the body respond better to the insulin it makes naturally.
Janumet (Sitagliptin/Metformin) should not be prescribed to patients who have type 1 diabetes or for those patients who have kidney disease or problems. This is because Janumet (Sitagliptin/Metformin) contains a chemical called Metformin which is know to cause a serious condition called lactic acidosis. Build up of lactic acid in the blood can be fatal and therefore must be treated immediately in a hospital.
