Janumet 50mg/850 mg Tablet

JANUMET helps to lower blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus along with diet and exercise. JANUMET can be used alone, or in combination with ertugliflozin, insulin, or sulfonylurea medicines such as glimepiride, gliclazide and glibenclamide.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a condition in which your body does not make enough insulin and the insulin that your body produces does not work as well as it should. Your body can also make too much sugar. When this happens, sugar (glucose) builds up in the blood resulting in high blood sugar (hyperglycaemia). This can lead to serious medical problems.

The main goal of treating diabetes is to lower your blood sugar to a normal level. Lowering and controlling blood sugar may help prevent or delay complications of diabetes, such as heart disease, kidney disease, blindness and foot amputation.

High blood sugar can be lowered by diet and exercise and by certain medicines.

JANUMET contains two active ingredients, sitagliptin (as phosphate monohydrate) and metformin hydrochloride. Sitagliptin belongs to a class of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors (dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors), and metformin belongs to a class of medicines called biguanides. Sitagliptin and metformin work together to control blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
