What is Januvia?

Januvia is a prescription medication used to help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. It is taken alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise, and may also be used with other diabetes medications. Keeping blood sugar under control helps prevent serious complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, vision loss, heart disease, and strokes.

How Does Januvia Work?

Sitagliptin

Januvia contains sitagliptin, a type of DPP-4 inhibitor that helps the body manage blood sugar more effectively. It works by increasing the release of incretin hormones, which boost insulin production when blood sugar is high and reduce the amount of sugar made by the liver. Januvia is most effective when combined with a balanced diet and exercise plan.

What Are the Benefits of Taking Januvia?

• Helps lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes
• Supports the body's natural insulin response when blood sugar is high
• Reduces sugar production in the liver
• Can be used alone or with other diabetes medications
• May help lower the risk of diabetes-related complications like heart disease and kidney problems

Januvia is an important part of diabetes management and should be taken as prescribed by your doctor.
