Janumet XR 50 / 500 mg 56 Tablets
Janumet contain Sitagliptin + Metformin.
Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor that increases insulin and decreases glucagon to improve glycemic control. It is therefore used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Metformin belongs to the group of biguanides with anti-hyperglycemic effect. It lowers glucose in the blood and also after eating, but it does not stimulate the formation of insulin. It works by reducing the formation of glucose in the liver by blocking the breakdown of glycogen. It also increases insulin sensitivity in the muscles, which helps in Regulating blood sugar.
