What Is Janumet XR Used For?
Janumet XR is an anti-diabetic medication prescribed by the doctor in addition to diet and exercise for the improvement of blood sugar levels in patients with
type 2 diabetes. This medication can be taken with premixed or long/intermediate-acting insulin. This medication contains sitagliptin and metformin. These two active ingredients work together to help achieve blood sugar control. Sitagliptin helps to improve the levels of insulin whenever the blood sugar level is high, especially after meals. It also helps to decrease the amount of sugar made by the body. Sitagliptin is unlikely to cause low blood sugar (Also known as hypoglycemia). Metformin helps to lower the amount of sugar made by the liver. Both these medicines together, help to achieve better control of blood sugar. Take the medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Janumet XR should be taken once a day by mouth with food preferably in the evening to lower your chance of an upset stomach. The tablets should be taken as whole. Do not crush or chew the tablets.
