Janumet XR (Sitagliptin and Metformin Hydrochloride Extended-Release) Medication Information

 

Uses

Janumet XR is a tablet that combines two prescription diabetes medications: sitagliptin (Januvia) and metformin extended-release. Janumet XR is used to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, along with a healthy diet and physical exercise.

In diabetes, blood sugar (glucose) becomes too high.  Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps sugar move from the bloodstream into your cells. If your body doesn’t make enough insulin or use it properly, too much sugar stays in your blood.  

Over time, having high blood sugar can lead to many health problems.  Uncontrolled blood sugar levels can increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. 

The good news: you can prevent type 2 diabetes from getting worse.  You can control your blood sugar by eating a healthy diet, exercising, and taking prescription medications.

Dosage

Janumet XR (sitagliptin and metformin extended-release) tablets are available in three strengths: 50 mg/500 mg, 50 mg/1,000 mg, and 100 mg/1,000 mg.  Your doctor will decide the strength that is best for you.

It should be taken once daily with a meal, preferably in the evening.
