Janumet 50/500 mg 56 Tabs

Janumet 50/500 mg 56 Tabs

Janumet is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults and is typically recommended when diet and exercise alone are not sufficient to control blood sugar levels effectively.
The medication contains sitagliptin, which enhances insulin secretion from the pancreas after meals and reduces the amount of sugar produced by the liver.
Metformin, also present in the medication, decreases glucose production in the liver and increases muscle sensitivity to insulin, helping the body use glucose more effectively.

Active ingredients:
Sitagliptin, Metformin

How to use:
• Used according to the doctor's instructions.

Cautions:
• Metformin is excreted by kidneys, serum creatinine levels should be determined before initiating treatment and regularly thereafter.
• Decreased renal function in elderly is frequent and asymptomatic.
• As the IV administration of iodinated contrast material in radiologic studies can lead to renal failure, metformin should be discontinued prior to, or at the time of test and not be reinstituted until 48 hours afterwards. •Containdicated in patients with heart failure.
•Contraindicated in patients with pancreatitis.

Side Effects:
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain
• Headache
• Nasopharyngitis (inflammation of the throat and nasal passages)

Interactions:
• ACE inhibitors: the hypoglycemic effect of metformin is possibly enhanced when given with ACE inhibitors
• Beta-blockers: warning signs of hypoglycemia (such as tremor) with metformin may be masked when given with beta-blockers.
• Cimetidine: the excretion of metformin is reduced by cimetidine.
• Furosemide: may reduce the effectiveness of sitagliptin and other diabetic medications.
• Levothyroxine: may reduce the effectiveness of sitagliptin.
