Buy Januvia or Generic Sitagliptin Phosphate Online

What is Januvia?

Januvia, a DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase 4) inhibitor, is a once-daily prescription pill that helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is available in 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg tablets. Along with a healthy diet and exercise, Januvia helps control blood sugar before and after meals, and anytime in between. The generic version of Januvia is called Sitagliptin Phosphate.

Conditions treated by Januvia

Januvia helps treat type 2 diabetes, a condition that causes blood sugar levels to rise higher than normal. Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes. If you have type 2 diabetes, your body does not use insulin properly. So while your pancreas is still able to produce insulin, it does not produce as much as your body requires, or your tissues may no longer use the insulin properly.

Some people don't know they have diabetes until these and other symptoms arise:

• 

  Increased thirst

• 

  Increased hunger

• 

  Frequent urination

• 

  Fatigue

• 

  Blurred vision

• 

  Unexplained weight loss

• 

  Slow-healing sores or frequent infections

• 

  Areas with darkened skin

While researchers are not completely certain why some people develop type 2 diabetes, there are known risk factors, including:

• 

  Obesity

  The more fatty tissue a person has, the more resistant their cells are to insulin. That said, some people who are not overweight develop type 2 diabetes.

• 

  Inactivity

  Exercise not only helps us manage weight, it also uses glucose (sugar) as energy.

• 

  Family history

  If you have a parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes, you are more likely to develop it as well.

• 

  Age

  As we get older, the risk of type 2 diabetes increases—especially after age 45.

What to know before taking Januvia

  Digestive upset, such as nausea, stomach pain, constipation, diarrhea

Januvia FAQ's

How does Januvia work?

Januvia works by enhancing your body's own ability to lower blood sugar, meaning it:

• Works more when you have high blood sugar
• Works less when you have low blood sugar

When taken as directed, Januvia breaks down two gut hormones, called incretins, which are:

• Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)
• Glucose-dependent insulin-releasing polypeptide

Januvia is known as a DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase 4) inhibitor which means:

• The enzyme DPP-4 leaves the gut hormones alone
• Insulin secretion is prolonged to better control blood sugar levels

As an added bonus, the GLP-1 hormone slows gastric emptying, which can:

• Decrease hunger
• Prevent the hormone glucagon from raising the concentration of blood glucose

Research on the long-term efficacy of Sitagliptin found improvements in blood sugar control.

Does Januvia cause weight gain?

Many people with type 2 diabetes battle with the scale. But maintaining a healthy weight is an important part of managing diabetes. Thankfully, most people who take Januvia by itself do not report weight gain. Cooking healthy meals at home and finding a manageable, realistic exercise routine that works for you are two key components to maintaining a healthy weight.

How much does Januvia cost?

You need a doctor's prescription in order to purchase Januvia. Consider the generic version (Sitagliptin Phosphate) for the lowest price. While it's not available everywhere, you can buy Januvia generic online for less at NorthWestPharmacy.com.

Can I buy generic Januvia?

Obtaining the lowest Januvia price greatly reduces monthly prescription costs. The generic alternative, Sitagliptin Phosphate, is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

What is the best time to take Januvia?

Januvia is usually taken once a day, with or without food. You should take Januvia at about the same time every day.
