Januvia

You should take Januvia as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The usual dose is 100 mg once a day, with or without food. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your individual response. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose of Januvia. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.

Each Januvia tablet contains 100 mg of sitagliptin. The tablet also includes excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose, anhydrous dibasic calcium phosphate, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, and film coating.

Common side effects of Januvia may include upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose, and headache. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include pancreatitis (severe pain in the stomach area), allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling of the face, lips, or throat), and joint pain.

You should not take Januvia if you have a history of pancreatitis or if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the medication. Inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you have, especially if you have kidney problems. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before taking Januvia. It is important to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly while using Januvia, especially if you have a history of low blood sugar. If you experience severe abdominal pain, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
