Janumet (active ingredients: sitagliptin and metformin) is a prescription medication used to help control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.
It is used along with a healthy diet and regular exercise when treatment with both sitagliptin and metformin is appropriate.
Type 2 diabetes is a long-term condition in which the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin effectively. This causes blood sugar (glucose) levels to become too high.
If left untreated, high blood sugar can increase the risk of serious complications, including:
By improving blood sugar control, Janumet helps lower the risk of these diabetes-related complications.
Janumet combines two diabetes medications that work together to lower blood sugar in different ways.
Sitagliptin
Sitagliptin belongs to a group of medications called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors.
It works by increasing the levels of natural hormones called incretins, which help regulate blood sugar after meals. These hormones:
Together, these effects help lower blood sugar levels, particularly after eating.
Metformin
Metformin belongs to a group of medications called biguanides.
It helps lower blood sugar by:
Unlike some diabetes medications, metformin does not usually cause low blood sugar when used on its own.
Combined Benefits
By combining sitagliptin and metformin, Janumet helps:

Janumet is available as an oral tablet that should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
It is usually taken twice daily with meals. Taking Janumet with food helps reduce the risk of stomach upset caused by metformin.
Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, split, or chew the tablet unless your healthcare provider instructs you to do so. If you have difficulty swallowing the tablet, let your healthcare provider know.
Drink plenty of fluids while taking Janumet unless your healthcare provider advises you to limit your fluid intake.
Take your medication at the same times each day to help maintain a consistent level of medication in your body.

Before taking Janumet, tell your healthcare provider about your complete medical history, including any allergies, medical conditions, and all medications you are taking. This helps ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you.
Tell your healthcare provider or dentist that you are taking Janumet before:
Your healthcare provider may recommend temporarily stopping Janumet before and after the procedure to reduce the risk of kidney problems and a rare but serious side effect called lactic acidosis. Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully about when to stop and restart the medication.
Do not take Janumet if you are allergic to sitagliptin, metformin, or any of the ingredients in the medication.
Some inactive ingredients may also cause allergic reactions in certain people. If you are unsure about the ingredients, ask your pharmacist for more information.
Seek emergency medical attention immediately if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, including:
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, tell your healthcare provider before taking Janumet.
Pregnancy can affect blood sugar levels and may require changes to your diabetes treatment plan. Your healthcare provider will determine the safest way to manage your blood sugar during pregnancy.
Janumet should not be used by people with severe kidney disease or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Your healthcare provider will perform blood tests before starting treatment and periodically during treatment to monitor your kidney function and determine whether Janumet remains safe for you.
Tell your healthcare provider if you notice symptoms that may suggest kidney problems, such as:
Janumet may cause blurred vision, dizziness, or drowsiness, particularly if your blood sugar becomes too high or too low.
Until you know how Janumet affects you, do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities that require alertness or clear vision.

While taking Janumet, your healthcare provider may regularly monitor your:
Keeping your follow-up appointments and having regular blood tests can help ensure the medication remains safe and effective.
Janumet begins lowering blood sugar soon after you start taking it, and many people notice improvements within about 5 days of regular use. However, the full effect depends on factors such as your blood sugar levels, dose, diet, exercise habits, and overall health. Continue taking Janumet as prescribed and monitor your blood sugar regularly.
Janumet should not be used by people with severe kidney disease, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), or a history of a serious allergic reaction to sitagliptin, metformin, or any of the ingredients in the medication. Your healthcare provider will determine whether Janumet is safe and appropriate for you based on your medical history and overall health.
Take Janumet exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It is usually taken twice daily with meals to help reduce stomach upset. Your dose is based on your medical condition, kidney function, current diabetes treatment, and response to therapy.
Yes. Janumet may interact with certain medications, including diuretics (water pills), corticosteroids (steroids), and some heart or blood pressure medications. Before starting Janumet, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements you are taking so they can check for potential drug interactions.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Janumet. Pregnancy can affect blood sugar control, and your healthcare provider will determine the safest treatment option for you. Do not start or stop Janumet during pregnancy without medical advice.
