Januvia (active ingredient: sitagliptin) is a prescription medication indicated for:

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Januvia is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, either as monotherapy or in combination with other antidiabetic medications, including insulin, when diet and exercise alone do not provide adequate control.

Januvia belongs to a class of drugs known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which work by increasing the levels of incretin hormones in the body. These hormones help to regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin and reducing the production of glucose by the liver.

Januvia is available in the form of a tablet that you take by mouth exactly as directed by your doctor, and it is usually taken once daily. You should swallow the Januvia tablet whole with a glass of water and should not cut, chew, or crush it. It can be taken with or without food, depending on your doctor’s instructions.

The recommended dosage of Sitagliptin Phosphate is 100mg once daily. However, dosage adjustment may be necessary for patients with renal impairment. It is advised to consult a healthcare professional for personalized dosage instructions based on individual medical conditions and responses to treatment.

To minimize the risk of a serious allergic reaction, do not take JANUVIA if you are allergic to any of its components, including sitagliptin. If you experience any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, stop taking JANUVIA and get emergency medical help immediately or call your doctor without delay.
To use JANUVIA safely, inform your doctor or pharmacist about your medical history, including any history of kidney disease, heart failure, pancreatitis, and gallstones.
To ensure your safety while taking Sitagliptin Phosphate, avoid driving, operating machinery, or engaging in any activities that require alertness or clear vision if you experience blurred vision, dizziness, or drowsiness due to extremely low or high blood sugar levels, until you are certain that you can perform such activities safely.
Taking Sitagliptin Phosphate while consuming alcohol increases the risk of developing low blood sugar, and therefore, limit alcohol consumption while taking the medication.
During pregnancy, use JANUVIA only if necessary because pregnancy can cause or exacerbate diabetes. Patients should discuss their blood sugar management plan with their doctor, and their diabetes treatment may need to be adjusted during pregnancy.
