Drug Information

About Januvia (Sitagliptin)

What is Januvia (Sitagliptin)?

Januvia (Sitagliptin) is a prescription medication that is classified as a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor.

Uses

What is Januvia used for? 

It is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (adjunct to diet and exercise) as monotherapy or combination therapy.

How does it work?

DPP4 breaks down glucagon-like peptide (GLP-1) enzymes which are effective at lowering blood glucose in a glucose-dependent manner. By this inhibition, GLP-1 levels are increased and can lower blood glucose more effectively. 

Directions

How do I take Januvia (Sitagliptin)? 

Take your Januvia (Sitagliptin) by mouth with or without food at the same time every day as directed by your doctor. 

What dosages are available?

Januvia (Sitagliptin) comes only as a brand name in a 25mg, 50mg, or 100mg tablet. 

What is the recommended dosage?

It is typically dosed 100mg once daily but take as directed by your doctor.

What is the maximum dosage?

The maximum recommended dosage is 100mg/day.

What if I miss a dose?

Take the medication as soon as possible if you have missed a dose. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and return back to your regular schedule. Never double the dose.

Warnings & Precautions

What should you know before you take Januvia (Sitagliptin)?

Severe/disabling arthralgia has been reported with DPP-4 inhibitors. Onset can occur within a day to years after starting therapy. 

Bullous pemphigoid development has been associated with DPP-4 inhibitors.

Hypersensitivity reactions (immediate), such as anaphylaxis and angioedema, have been reported and are not dose-related. 

Cases of acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer have been reported with use of incretin-based therapies (e.g., DDP4 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 [GLP-1] receptor agonists).

Kidney dysfunction may require a dose adjustment

  • eGFR > 45 mL/minute/1.73m2: No dose adjustment needed. 
  • eGFR 30 to 45 mL/minute/1.73m2: 50 mg once daily
  • eGFR < 30 mL/minute/1.73m2: 25 mg once daily

Severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) does not have any dose adjustments in the manufacturer’s labeling (has not been studied).

Treatment with a DDP-4 inhibitor has been associated with heart failure. However, a large-randomized, double-blinded study in patients with established cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes showed that the occurrence of the primary composite outcome (history of major CAD, atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease, or ischemic cerebrovascular disease), the occurrence of the primary composite cardiovascular outcome (nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, cardiovascular death, or hospitalization for unstable angina) with sitagliptin was found to be noninferior to placebo. The rate of hospitalization for heart failure did not differ between the two groups. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) suggests that DPP-4 inhibitors (except saxagliptin) can be considered in patients with heart failure. 

Side Effects

What are the side effects of Januvia (Sitagliptin)?

Some common side effects include:

  • Nasopharyngitis

Speak to your doctor for a full list of side effects that apply to you if you are taking Januvia (Sitagliptin).

Interactions

Does this medication interact with other drugs, foods, or alcohol?

This is not a full list of potential drug-drug-interactions. Speak to your doctor if you have any concerns about drug-drug-interactions.
