Januvia 100

Uses
Januvia (Sitagliptin) is an oral medication prescribed to treat patients with type 2 diabetes. It works by regulating insulin production to reduce high blood glucose levels preventing symptoms such as tremors, fatigue, increased urination, blurry vision, or seizures. It is often prescribed along with a balanced diet and exercise to get the most effective results. Your doctor may also prescribe its use for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

Dosage and Administration
Januvia (Sitagliptin) should always be used strictly according to your doctor's instructions to get the most effective results from treatment. Most patients are prescribed one tablet daily, but your individual instructions will depend on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a large glass of water and may be taken on an empty stomach, although a snack or meal is suggested before use if you get an upset stomach. Do not change the form of the tablets prior to use as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Ask your doctor any questions you have about the medication to ensure the correct usage.
