For adults with type II diabetes, Januvia 100 mg is used to control the impact of food on blood sugar levels as monotherapy in patients where the blood sugar is not adequately controlled by diet and exercise alone and for whom another antidiabetic agent like metformin is inappropriate due to intolerance or contraindications.
The medication can be used as a dual treatment in combination with metformin when diet and exercise, or metformin alone, are unable to reduce blood sugar levels. Januvia can also be taken with sulfonylurea (another diabetes medication) when diet and exercise, plus sulfonylurea alone, fail to reduce blood sugar and when metformin is not appropriate due to contraindications or intolerance.
This antidiabetic medication is used as a triple treatment in addition to metformin and sulfonylurea when dietary restrictions, exercise, and dual treatments with these medicines fail to control blood sugar levels.
This medicine can also be used as an additional treatment to insulin (with or without metformin) when dietary restrictions, exercise, and a stable dose of insulin are unable to control blood sugar levels. Each Januvia tablet contains the active ingredient Sitagliptin (as the main active component), which helps reduce blood sugar levels by increasing the presence of certain substances in the body that cause the pancreas to release more insulin. It also helps to stop the production of sugar when there is an excessive amount of sugar in the bloodstream.
Precautions with Sitagliptin tablet
‒ Patients should not take Januvia 100 mg with type 1 diabetes. It should be used for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis (when lack of insulin causes ketones, the harmful substances to build up in the bloodstream.
‒ Dizziness and drowsiness have been reported in those receiving this antidiabetic medicine. This may affect your ability to drive or operate machinery. Taking Sitagliptin along with sulphonylureas or with insulin can contribute to very low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia). Hypoglycaemia may interfere with your ability to drive or use machines.
‒ Your healthcare professional must be aware of your pregnancy status if you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant. The effect of the antidiabetic medicine on breast milk is still unknown. If you are a breastfeeding mother, you should avoid taking this medicine if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
‒ Taking other medications during Sitagliptin treatment can interfere with the effectiveness of Sitagliptin or other medications. Be cautious when taking digoxin, a medication used to treat irregular heartbeats and other heart conditions. If this is the case, your healthcare specialist will check digoxin levels in your body.

How to take a Sitagliptin tablet?
Typically, Januvia is recommended at a 100 mg once-daily dose, either as monotherapy or in combination with metformin, metformin and a sulfonylurea, insulin (with or without metformin), or pioglitazone (with or without metformin).
