What is Januvia Used For?

Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate) is used alongside diet and exercise to treat type 2 diabetes. Januvia is an effective treatment that can improve A1C levels. The A1C levels are important because this measures your blood sugar levels over the last 3 months. This level is important for all patients to know about. This medication is often prescribed with other diabetes medications to enhance results. The FDA has approved Januvia for treating type 2 diabetes only, not type 1 diabetes.

How Does Januvia Work?

Januvia helps patients with type 2 diabetes manage the amount of glucose in the bloodstream. Patients with type 2 diabetes do not produce sufficient insulin to control blood sugar. Januvia helps with blood sugar control by blocking the activity of a protein called dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4). This blockade increases the amount of GLP-1 and GLP in the body, increasing the insulin that your body produces. By improving insulin production, your body naturally decreases the level of sugar in your blood.

Common Side Effects

Common Januvia side effects include headaches, a stuffy nose, upper respiratory infections, and sinus infections. These side effects are usually not serious and go away on their own within several days. However, if you experience any side effect that lasts longer than a week, you may require your doctor’s assistance.

Severe Side Effects

If you experience low blood sugar or hypoglycemia, call your doctor immediately. Hypoglycemia can cause symptoms such as drowsiness, weakness, and a fast heartbeat. Other severe side effects of Januvia include kidney problems, joint swelling, and pancreatitis. Although severe side effects with Januvia are rare, they likely constitute a medical emergency if they do occur.

To find the most effective dosage for you, your doctor will consider your age, health conditions, and kidney function. Januvia comes in 25mg, 50mg, and 100mg strengths. Typically, your doctor will prescribe a lower dose at first and increase or decrease your dosage based on your body’s response. Ultimately, it is best to take the lowest dosage that provides the desired results (significantly improved blood sugars within the normal range). It is important to always follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage because an overdose can be life-threatening.

Can I Take Januvia while Pregnant?

It is currently not known whether Januvia is harmful to pregnant mother or their unborn child. Animal studies show that Januvia caused no problems during pregnancy, but animal studies are not always an accurate indicator of a drug’s safety for humans. If you become pregnant while taking Januvia, it is important to tell your doctor immediately. Your doctor may discuss alternative treatments if they determine this drug is not safe for you at this time.

Januvia Drug Interactions

Several drugs can interfere with the effectiveness of Januvia. Drug interactions can significantly increase the risk of side effects. If you are on Januvia, avoid taking other insulin drugs because combining Januvia with insulin can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar. Birth control pills have hormones that increase blood sugar, and mixing them with Januvia may offset the benefits of this drug. Januvia also interacts with digoxin, a heart medication. Pairing Januvia with digoxin leads to dizziness, headaches, and diarrhea. Speak to your doctor for a full list of Januvia drug interactions.

Does Januvia cause weight loss?

Januvia is not approved by the FDA for weight loss. While some patients report weight loss when taking Januvia, losing weight is more likely to be attributed to a healthy diet and regular exercise. If your goal is to lose weight, ask your doctor about weight loss treatments that are available.

How long does it take for Januvia to work?

After taking Januvia, it may be a week before you start to notice improvements in your blood sugar levels. Januvia is a long-term treatment for type 2 diabetes, so you may need to take this drug for a longer period of time to see significant improvements. Do not stop taking Januvia unless instructed by your doctor because stopping abruptly can lead to spikes in your blood sugar levels.

What precautions should I take with Januvia?

Januvia increases the risk of kidney failure and complications such as chest pain and leg swelling. Patients who have had heart failure in the past are more likely to develop heart failure again after taking Januvia. This medication may also lead to pancreatitis particularly if you have a history of gallstones or higher levels of triglycerides.

Will Januvia stop working after a while?

Januvia is designed to treat type 2 diabetes over the longer term, so this drug should not stop working after a while. Januvia should help manage your blood glucose for as long as you continue to take it. If Januvia does stop working, you may experience extreme thirst, frequent urination, slow healing, and blurry vision. The presence of these symptoms means that blood sugar is not under good control. You should contact your physician if you are experiencing these symptoms.

What are the withdrawal symptoms of Januvia?

Januvia does not cause withdrawal symptoms, but stopping suddenly can allow your blood sugar levels to rise again. Speak to your doctor if you intend on stopping Januvia. Your doctor can recommend alternative methods to treat your high blood sugar.
