Description


Generic Name: sitagliptin and metformin HCl 

Drug Class: dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor and biguanide 

Indications 

Janumet XR is an oral prescription drug used to improve glycemic control among adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when treatment with sitagliptin and metformin is necessary. This is prescribed together with proper diet and exercise.  

Janumet XR is not indicated for type 1 diabetes and diabetic ketoacidosis. It has not been investigated in patients who have had pancreatitis in the past. 

Dosage Forms 

This is available in Janumet XR 50 1000 mg, 50/500 mg, and 100/1000 mg extended-release tablets. 

Janumet XR Mechanism of Action 

This is a combination product of a DPP-4 inhibitor and a biguanide. It slows the inactivation of incretin hormones for starters. By prolonging and increasing the levels of active incretin hormones, insulin release is increased, and glucagon levels in the circulation are decreased in a glucose-dependent manner. Secondly, it reduces the production of hepatic glucose, reduces gastrointestinal glucose absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity through increased peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. 

How to Take Janumet XR 

Before starting to use Janumet XR, read the information leaflet or medication guide provided by your healthcare professional. You must not take any medication unless you have read and comprehended the instructions and uses. For more medical advice or information, consult your doctor or pharmacist. 

The only way to take this tablet is by mouth. This is usually prescribed once a day, preferably in the evening. You must take it with a meal. Swallow the extended-release tablet entirely and drink plenty of fluids. Cutting or crushing this product is not recommended.

Make a dosing schedule when taking Janumet XR. Do not increase or decrease Janumet dosage. You should not take this oral medication more frequently than recommended. 

This diabetes medication is only an adjunct to proper diet and regular exercise. It may not work as well if lifestyle changes are not applied. Always eat a healthy balanced meal and do exercise regularly.

Warnings and Precautions 

Do not take this prescription Janumet XR if you have a known allergy to sitagliptin, metformin, or any inactive ingredients the capsule may contain. Any signs of serious allergic reactions, such as trouble breathing, swelling of the face and neck, severe dizziness, swollen lymph nodes, hives/itchiness, and skin rashes, should always be kept in mind. Stop using this oral medication and seek emergency medical treatment right away if this happens.

Janumet XR may be contraindicated for people with a history of severe asthma, COPD, liver disease, kidney disease, gallstones, pancreatitis, anemia, and vitamin B12 deficiency. You should also discuss all of your prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, and herbal products with your doctor owing to the possibility of drug interactions.

When blood sugar levels are excessively high or too low, symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, and blurred vision are typical. When performing duties that need attention and good vision, exercise caution.

Restrict your intake of alcoholic beverages. Alcohol can trigger certain adverse effects. Low blood sugar and lactic acidosis are potentially possible side effects. You must not take diuretics and avoid getting dehydrated as these can also lead to lactic acidosis.

Metformin can cause menstrual changes and promote ovulation. Thus, increasing the chance of getting pregnant. Talk to your healthcare provider about reliable and safe birth control methods, if necessary.

This oral medication should only be taken by pregnant or lactating mothers if absolutely necessary. All potential dangers should be discussed with a healthcare provider. Furthermore, pregnancy can either induce or exacerbate diabetes. Changes in the treatment plan should be discussed with your doctor.
