Question 1

Is Janumet & Janumet XR the same?

Accepted Answer

Janumet and Janumet XR contain the same active ingredients, sitagliptin and metformin. However, Janumet XR is an extended-release version that provides a longer duration of action. As a result, patients do not have to take frequent doses as compared to the regular Janumet.

Question 2

When not to use Janumet XR?

Accepted Answer

Avoid using Janumet XR if you have severe kidney disease, metabolic acidosis, or a known allergy to sitagliptin or metformin. The medication is also not recommended during diabetic ketoacidosis or if you have a history of lactic acidosis.

Question 3

Can I take Janumet XR and Metformin at the same time?

Accepted Answer

While no interaction was found between Janumet XR and metformin, you are advised not to take additional metformin with your medication as it already contains metformin. Therefore, it is always a better idea to consult your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice regarding dosage and medication combinations.

Question 4

Can I eat eggs while taking Janumet XR?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can eat eggs while taking Janumet XR. Eggs do not interfere with the medication’s effectiveness and can be part of a balanced diet for managing blood sugar levels. They are a good source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients. So, including them in your meals helps maintain stable sugar levels.
