This medication is not suitable for patients with type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent).


How Does Janumet® Work?

Janumet® combines two active ingredients:

  1. Sitagliptin: Enhances the body’s natural ability to lower blood sugar by increasing insulin production after meals.
  2. Metformin: Lowers sugar production in the liver and helps your body use insulin more effectively.

Common Side Effects of Janumet®

While effective, Janumet® may cause some side effects, particularly when starting the treatment. These include:

  • Stuffy or runny nose and sore throat
  • Upper respiratory infections
  • Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), especially if combined with other medications like sulfonylurea or insulin
  • Gas, upset stomach, indigestion
  • Weakness or fatigue
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Headache
  • Diarrhea

When to Contact Your Doctor

If side effects become bothersome or persistent, talk to your healthcare provider. In rare cases, Metformin (a component of Janumet®) may cause lactic acidosis, a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention.

Signs of Lactic Acidosis:

  • Unusual tiredness
  • Muscle pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Feeling cold
  • Irregular heartbeat

Tips for Taking Janumet®

  • Take with meals: Helps reduce stomach-related side effects.
  • Stay hydrated: Dehydration can increase the risk of side effects.
  • Monitor your blood sugar: Especially if taking other diabetes medications.

Janumet® is a powerful tool for managing type 2 diabetes and its complications. Speak with your healthcare provider about any questions or concerns you have, and always follow their guidance for safe and effective use.
