    Sitagliptin/metformin, sold under the brand name Janumet among others, is a fixed-dose combination anti-diabetic medication used to treat type 2 diabetes.[8] It may be used in those whose blood sugar is not controlled with metformin and a sulfonylurea.[8][9] It is taken by mouth.[8]

    Common side effects include diarrhea, headache, and upper respiratory tract infections.[5] Serious side effects may include lactic acidosis, pancreatitis, low blood sugar, heart failure, joint pain, and allergic reactions.[5] It has not been properly studied in women who are pregnantorbreastfeeding.[1] It contains sitagliptin (adipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor) and metformin (abiguanide).[5]

    The combination was approved for medical use in the United States in 2007.[5] In 2021, it was the 154th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 3 million prescriptions.[10][11] It is available as a generic medication.[12][13]

    Medical uses

    [edit]

    In the United States, sitagliptin/metformin is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes.[5][6]

    In the European Union, sitagliptin/metformin is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes; in combination with a sulfonylurea as an adjunct to diet and exercise "in people inadequately controlled on their maximal tolerated dose of metformin and a sulfonylurea; as triple combination therapy with a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) agonist (i.e., a thiazolidinedione) as an adjunct to diet and exercise in people inadequately controlled on their maximal tolerated dose of metformin and a PPAR agonist; and as add-on to insulin as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in people when stable dosage of insulin and metformin alone do not provide adequate glycemic control."[7]

    In December 2020, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved labeling changes stating that Januvia (sitagliptin), Janumet (sitagliptin and metformin hydrochloride), and Janumet XR (sitagliptin and metformin hydrochloride extended-release) are not proven to improve glycemic (blood sugar) control in children aged 10 to 17 with type 2 diabetes.[14] The drugs are approved to improve blood sugar control in adults aged 18 and older with type 2 diabetes.[14]
