What JANUVIA is taken for:
- JANUVIA (sitagliptin phosphate, MSD) is a tablet that contains 50 or 100 mg of sitagliptin as the active ingredient.
- JANUVIA helps to improve the levels of insulin after a meal.
- JANUVIA decreases the amount of sugar made by the body.
- JANUVIA works when blood sugar is high, especially after a meal. This is when the body needs the greatest amount of help in lowering blood sugar.
- JANUVIA also lowers blood sugar between meals.
- JANUVIA by itself is unlikely to cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) because it does not work when your blood sugar is low.
