JANumet 50/1000 mg 56 tab

Janumet 50/1000 mg combines two antihyperglycemic agents with complementary mechanisms of action to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes.

• Active Ingredients: Sitagliptin (50mg) & Metformin HCl (1000mg)
• Pack Size: 56 Film-coated tablets
• Manufacturer: MSD (Merck Sharp & Dohme)

Janumet targets three key issues in diabetes:

• Sitagliptin: A DPP-4 inhibitor that helps the pancreas release more insulin and decreases glucagon production.
• Metformin: A biguanide that lowers glucose production in the liver and improves insulin sensitivity.

• Administration: Take Janumet twice daily with meals to reduce the risk of stomach upset.
• Consistency: Swallow the tablets whole; do not crush, chew, or break them.
• Professional Advice: Always follow the exact dosage prescribed by your doctor.

• Lactic Acidosis: Rare but serious side effect associated with metformin; avoid excessive alcohol.
• Contraindications: Not for Type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Avoid use in patients with severe renal impairment.
• Storage: Keep in a dry place at room temperature (below 30°C).
