Overview

Januvia 50mg Tablet contains Sitagliptin 50mg (as sitagliptin phosphate monohydrate) and is available as a tablet. It is classified as a prescription medicine and may only be obtained with a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.

Only product, safety and handling information is published here. Anything beyond that is explained to you directly by your doctor or pharmacist as part of your consultation.

DoctorOnCall is a licensed online pharmacy. Orders for Januvia 50mg Tablet are processed only after a doctor has assessed your suitability and issued a prescription, and every order is checked by a registered pharmacist before it is sent out.

Directions for Use

Take Januvia 50mg Tablet once daily, with or without food, swallowing the tablet whole with a glass of water. Continue taking this medicine regularly even when you feel well, and do not stop it without consulting your doctor, as diabetes control needs to be maintained continuously.

Dosage

The usual dose of Januvia 50mg Tablet is 100mg once daily, taken alone or together with other diabetes medicines. Your doctor may prescribe a lower dose if you have reduced kidney function, and will individualise your overall diabetes treatment plan based on your blood glucose control and other health conditions.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Headache

  • Stomach discomfort or indigestion
  • Joint pain
  • Mild skin rash
  • Low blood sugar (especially if taken with other diabetes medications)

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to sitagliptin or any ingredient in this product, or a history of a serious hypersensitivity reaction to any DPP-4 inhibitor (e.g. anaphylaxis, angioedema, or severe skin reactions)
  • Type 1 diabetes mellitus (not indicated for this use)
  • Diabetic ketoacidosis

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Insulin or sulfonylureas may increase the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) when combined – a lower dose of these medicines may be needed
  • Digoxin levels may be slightly increased and monitoring may be advised if combined

Quick Tips

  • Take at the same time each day, with or without food
  • Monitor your blood glucose regularly as advised by your doctor
  • Seek urgent medical attention for severe or persistent abdominal pain, which can rarely signal pancreatitis
  • Report any new joint pain to your doctor, as this has rarely been reported with DPP-4 inhibitors
