Description:
Janumet 500mg/50mg Tablet is a combination medication used to manage high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. By effectively lowering blood glucose, it helps prevent long-term complications such as kidney damage, vision problems, and may also reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
This medicine combines two anti-diabetic agents and is often prescribed when diet, exercise, and other medications fail to provide adequate blood sugar control. It works best when taken consistently alongside a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Janumet 500mg/50mg Tablet should be taken with meals to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal discomfort. It is important to take it at the same time each day for optimal results and to avoid missing doses.
Common side effects may include diarrhea, headache, and upper respiratory tract infections. When used in combination with other diabetes medications like insulin or sulfonylureas, there may be a risk of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), so patients should be aware of its signs and how to manage it. This medicine may not be appropriate for individuals with certain medical conditions such as kidney, liver, or heart disease, or a history of pancreatic disorders. It is also important to inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, as drug interactions are possible.
Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their healthcare provider before using this medicine. Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood sugar levels is recommended during treatment to ensure safety and effectiveness. Limiting alcohol consumption is advised, as it can further lower blood sugar levels and increase the risk of side effects.
