This combination medication is used with a proper diet and exercise program and possibly with other medications to control high blood sugar. It is used in patients with type 2 diabetes (non-insulin-dependent diabetes). This product contains 2 medications. Sitagliptin works by increasing levels of natural substances called incretins. Incretins help to control blood sugar by increasing insulin release, especially after a meal. They also decrease the amount of sugar your liver makes. Metformin works by helping to restore your body's proper response to the insulin you naturally produce. It also decreases the amount of sugar that your liver makes and that your stomach/intestines absorb. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. This medication should not be used to treat people with type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes).This combination medication is used with a proper diet and exercise program and possibly with other medications to control high blood sugar.

My Dr just called me with my blood results and after taking metformin 850mg twice a day, hes starting me on Janumet in the am and metformin at night.After reading all the reviews I am kind of nervous about starting this medication. I just hope it gets my blood sugars under control. hes also putting me on Lipitor. He said it wont interact with the diabetic meds. Anyone else taking lipitor with Janumet and metformin? Wish me luck im scared!!

My doctor sent me to have an ultrasound because of high lipase and amylase tests. He thought I might have pancreatic cancer or pancreatitis. Over a six month period it kept rising. The cause was Janumet. When I stopped taking it, the counts lowered.

35 Male. I just started the 2.5/ 1000 oral pills switched form the 5/1000. I'm a little worried about the pancreaitis side effect. But, seeing my blood sugars drop has been awesome. I recently have switch my lifestyle(eating like a rabbit and exercising.) I just started to experience the running nose, and I have been getting the diarreha when I drink some diet drinks(thanks for that form the 47 year old guy reveiw,above I was starting to wonder if it was my wife's cooking...lol.) I had cut that out diet drinks as well but, I enjoy a drink or so every once in a while. I have also signed up for the discounted price of $10 a perscrition.(1-866-747-4958) to see if you elegible for the loyalty program. I hope this helps. Sorry for my spelling.

47 Male Glucophage did not lower my blood sugar enough so the DR. put me on this. Does :5/1000 If you get headaches it is because your not drinking enough water. Stomach issues will last about 3 weeks and again water or Powerade zero helped alot. Be sure to take with food, as the effect is much more noticable. When I took this with anything that had aspertame in it (coke zero) I got bad gas pains. I do not get those pains with Splenda.
