Januvia 100mg Tablets – Sitagliptin 100mg, 28 Tablets

Januvia 100mg Tablets is an oral medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. The active ingredient in Januvia is sitagliptin, which belongs to a class of drugs called DPP-4 inhibitors. Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the most common form of diabetes, accounting for 90-95% of all cases. In type 2 diabetes, the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells are resistant to insulin. As a result, sugar accumulates in the blood instead of being used by the cells for energy. Januvia works by increasing the level of insulin produced after a meal and decreasing the amount of sugar made by the liver. This leads to lower blood sugar levels and can help improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Januvia is typically taken once daily, with or without food. Some common side effects include headache, runny nose, and sore throat. Januvia is not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age.
