What is Januvia?

Januvia is a drug that helps control blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes but is not approved to treat Type 1 diabetes. It works by blocking dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), an enzyme that breaks down incretins, which are hormones that stimulate insulin release. By blocking the DPP-4 enzyme, Januvia helps decrease the production and release of blood sugars from the liver. 

When combined with diet and exercise, Januvia can help decrease the risk of complications from diabetes, such as heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, eye problems, and diabetic foot ulcers. Januvia is available as a tablet that is taken by mouth once daily with or without food.

What doses of Januvia are available?

Januvia is available in oral tablets in strengths of 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg. Refer to your medication guide before taking Januvia. Januvia is typically taken once per day by mouth, but your healthcare provider may prescribe a different dosage based on information about your kidney function. Your doctor may also recommend a diet and exercise plan that should be followed while taking Januvia for best results.

Does Januvia cause weight gain?
