What is Januvia?
Januvia is a prescription medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes, by helping to lower blood sugar levels when used in combination with exercise and changes to your diet. Januvia is taken as a pill that’s swallowed, usually once a day.
Diabetes is a condition where you struggle to maintain a normal blood sugar level. When you digest the food you’ve eaten, sugar is released into your blood so it can be transported around your body and taken to where it’s needed. A hormone called insulin helps your body absorb the sugar out of your blood.
If you have type 2 diabetes, your body may not produce enough insulin or may become resistant to the effects of insulin. This means less sugar is removed from your blood and your blood sugar levels stay too high. High blood sugar levels can cause a range of problems over time, including nerve damage, heart disease, strokes, and kidney failure. Januvia treats type 2 diabetes by helping to lower your blood sugar levels. It encourages your pancreas to produce insulin for longer after you’ve eaten, helping your body absorb more sugar out of your blood.
What doses of Januvia are available?
Januvia is available in tablet form, in the following doses: 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg.
Januvia active ingredients
The active ingredient in Januvia is called sitagliptin. It works by increasing the amount of insulin you produce after you’ve eaten.
When you digest food, your stomach and gut produce digestive hormones called GLP-1 and GIP. These hormones make your pancreas secrete insulin. As you continue to digest your food, the digestive hormones are broken down by an enzyme called DPP-4 to allow your levels on insulin to fall again.
Sitagliptin stops the DPP-4 enzyme from breaking down the digestive hormones. This keeps the hormones active for longer, making you produce more insulin, lowering your blood sugar to normal levels.
Januvia side effects & Januvia drug interactions
The most common side effects caused by Januvia include an increase in upper respiratory infections and the common cold, headaches, and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels). Other side effects include vomiting and constipation. In rarer cases, Januvia can cause more serious side effects like pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), kidney disease, and kidney failure.
If you take Januvia you could experience side effects, including the most serious, but everyone reacts differently to medication. If you have any concerns about side effects, talk to your physician or a pharmacist.
Certain medications can interact with each other, affecting how they work and making some side effects more likely. Medications that are known or thought to interact with Januvia include:
- Other medications that can lower blood sugar levels, like insulin or a sulfonylurea medicine
- Digoxin, used to treat a range of heart conditions
Make sure to tell your prescribing physician about all drugs you’re taking, as well as those mentioned above, including any vitamins or dietary supplements.
