JANUVIA

Januvia Information

The Januvia drug is an oral diabetes medication available under the form of tablets, of which the main ingredient is Sitagliptin. The drug inhibits dipeptidyl peptidase-4, which leads to an increase in the amount of insulin that is released in the body – thus resulting in a lowered blood sugar level.

Januvia Indications

The Januvia drug is usually prescribed to patients that suffer from Type II diabetes; in situations where blood sugar levels cannot be controlled by means of exercise and diet alone. Januvia diabetes therapy is commonly used alongside diet and exercise therapy, and may also be prescribed in monotherapy or paired with other anti-diabetic medication. The drug may also be employed in order to treat medical conditions other than diabetes. If you have been prescribed Januvia treatment and are unsure as to why, it is best to enquire with your physician.

Januvia Warnings

Januvia medication should not be administered to patients that have a known hypersensitivity to Sitagliptin or any of the other ingredients that are found in this medical product. Also, Januvia medication therapy is not recommended as a diabetic medication for patients that suffer from Type I diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis (high levels of ketone in the blood).

In some cases, the Januvia drug may not be the best therapy option – for example, during pregnancy or breast feeding or if you are planning to become pregnant in the near future. Also, in the case of patients who suffer from kidney infections, alternative therapeutic options may be more viable. It is best to discuss the possible risks and benefits of Januvia treatment with your healthcare provider before starting therapy.

Januvia Intake Guidelines

The person who prescribes the Januvia treatment will provide you with a set of usage guidelines as well as advise you with regard to the appropriate dosage. It is best that you closely follow your physician’s directions in order to achieve the best therapeutic effects from the diabetic medication. Although you may experience an improvement within a few days from the start of the treatment, you should continue taking the medicine for the full duration of the therapy period. Do not end the Januvia medication treatment without consulting your personal healthcare provider.

Januvia Dosage

The exact Januvia dosage may vary from one patient to another, as the dosage is determined by taking into account a number of case specific factors including your general health condition and your medical history. As such, the medication dosage that has been prescribed to another patient may not be suitable for you. At times, your prescriber may decide to change your Januvia dosage during your therapy, based on your response to the treatment. You should always use the dosage that has been prescribed to you last. Never use a dosage different than you have been prescribed, as this may cause the therapy to yield different results than expected.

Januvia Overdose

Taking larger doses of Januvia than prescribed, or for longer than recommended may cause you to become affected by an overdose with this drug. This may result in severe consequences and in most cases emergency medical attention is required. As such, if you have any reasons to believe that you are suffering from an overdose with Januvia you should immediately contact a health care specialist. In severe cases, the patient may need to be transported to the nearest medical facility to receive emergency medical assistance.

Januvia Missed Dose

In order to prevent missing any Januvia doses, it is strongly recommended to set up a strict medication schedule. However, if you accidentally happen to miss one of your intakes, you should take the missed dose as soon as you remember unless another scheduled intake is almost due. If you miss two or more Januvia doses it is best that you consult your personal physician in order to find out what is the best course of action to follow. Further actions may be required in order to ensure your return to the normal treatment plan.

Januvia Side Effects

As with most drugs, Januvia may cause a number of side effects during the therapy. In most cases these are mild and will go away as the organism becomes adjusted to the medicine. Such common side effects include headaches, sore throat, nausea, upper respiratory tract infections or stuffy nose.

Severe side effects of Januvia are also possible. You should immediately contact your personal health care provider if you begin experiencing fever, chills, severe skin reddening, blistering or peeling or if any signs of an allergic reaction appear (swelling of the face, tongue or mouth, breathing difficulties, hives or rashes, tightness in the chest).

Other side effects that are not listed here are may occur as well. If you experience any severe symptoms or if any of the side effects become persistent or bothersome, you should consult a health care professional in order to investigate the causes and take further action as needed.

Januvia Drug Reactions

Januvia may interact with other drugs and medications, leading to the appearance of unwanted effects or affecting the effectiveness of either medication therapy. As such, it is best to inform your prescriber of any other drugs and medicines you are currently taking before starting a therapy course with this drug, and also you should inform him or her before starting any other medication therapy while following a treatment with Januvia. The most common reaction occurs when this medicine is taken at the same time with Sulfonylureas or Digoxin. Other drug interactions are also possible.
