Product description

Janumet is a combination of two ingredients that help lower blood sugar. It is used for people whose blood sugar isn't well controlled with just one diabetes medication. This medicine helps your body handle blood sugar better in two ways: it helps your body use insulin more effectively after meals and reduces the amount of sugar your body makes.

Janumet tablets are designed to help adults with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. This medication is usually used together with diet changes and exercise.

Safety advice

Alcohol

Alcohol intake can increase the effect of metformin, one of the components of Janumet, on lactate metabolism, which might raise the risk of developing lactic acidosis. Patients are advised to limit alcohol consumption while taking this medication.

Pregnancy

There is limited data on the use of Janumet during pregnancy. This medication should only be used when clearly needed and under direct supervision of a healthcare provider to ensure that the potential benefits outweigh the risks.

Breast feeding

The components of Janumet may pass into breast milk, and the effects on a nursing infant are unknown. It's important for nursing mothers to discuss the potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using this medication.

Driving

While Janumet itself does not directly impair your ability to drive, side effects like dizziness or hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) can affect your driving capabilities. If you experience symptoms that might impair your focus or reaction times, it's best to avoid driving until these effects subside.

Kidney

People with kidney issues need to use caution when taking Janumet, as kidney function affects how the body processes and eliminates the medication. Poor kidney function can lead to higher levels of the drug in the body, increasing the risk of side effects, particularly lactic acidosis, a rare but serious complication.

Liver

Janumet should be used with caution in patients with liver disease as it can affect how drugs are metabolized. Liver dysfunction can alter the effectiveness and safety profile of the medication, possibly requiring dosage adjustments.
