Januvia

Januvia (sitagliptin phosphate) is a once-daily oral diabetes treatment that helps to control blood sugar levels by regulating insulin levels produced by the body after eating. It comes in the form of a 100mg tablet that is clinically proven FDA approved medication used for treating type 2 diabetes. Both men and women, above the age of 18, with type 2 diabetes can but this highly effective treatment online.

The active substance in Januvia, sitagliptin, works by increasing the amount of 'incretin' hormones in the body. These hormones are usually released straight after a meal and are used by the body to encourage the pancreas to produce insulin. This is when sitagliptin becomes effective. It will force the pancreas to produce more insulin when glucose levels are high in the blood and will also decrease the amount of sugar produced in the liver. This process effectively controls type 2 diabetes.

A number of benefits can be experienced when taking Januvia (sitagliptin).

• Many studies have shown that Januvia boosts the body's own ability to lower particularly high levels of sugar in the blood
• Januvia can be used in combination with other anti diabetes medications, such as metformin, sulphonylurea and thiazolidinedione. This makes it a versatile medication that can be adjusted to suit your requirements
• Januvia acts as an alternative treatment for individuals with blood sugar levels that can't be controlled by changes to their diet, exercise or by taking Metformin
• Controlling high blood sugar helps to prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function issues. Using Januvia to effectively control and treat diabetes can also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke
• Januvia controls blood sugar levels without causing the patient to lose weight^[2]

The recommended dosage of Januvia (sitagliptin) will be prescribed at 100mg to be taken once a day. This is currently the only available dosage we have to offer at HealthExpress. However, in some circumstances, the dosage will vary if you are taking Januvia alongside other anti-diabetic medications and your doctor or the online consultation will be able to advise you further. In addition, for patients who have moderately or severely decreased kidney function, the dose of Januvia will be reduced.

In all cases, you should never take two doses of Januvia on the same day. Remember to check the usage instructions, which can be found on the packaging of the medication. Januvia can be taken with or without food, but you should follow the doctor's instructions. Januvia is at it's most effective when taken as part of a complete treatment program, including exercise, diet, weight control, and regular blood sugar testing.
