Overview
Janumet 50/1000 mg, 56 tablets from Merck, combines sitagliptin and metformin in one tablet to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes.
Key Benefits
- Brings together two complementary mechanisms: sitagliptin, a DPP-4 inhibitor, and metformin, from the biguanide class
- Metformin lowers glucose production in the liver, reduces glucose absorption in the intestine and improves the body's sensitivity to insulin
- Can be used as initial therapy when diet and exercise alone are not enough, or added on when treatment with metformin or sitagliptin alone hasn't achieved adequate control
How to Use
Use as directed by your pharmacist or doctor, taken with food as part of your ongoing diabetes management plan alongside diet and exercise.
Active Ingredients
Sitagliptin 50 mg and metformin hydrochloride 1000 mg per tablet.
Precautions
Consult your pharmacist or doctor about your full medical history before use, particularly regarding kidney or liver function, and continue following your prescribed diet and exercise plan.
