Janumet 50Mg/850Mg 56Tab

Janumet is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as blood sugar reducers, helping to improve blood sugar levels in patients. It contains two active ingredients: Metformin Hydrochloride and Sitagliptin Phosphate.

Metformin Hydrochloride works by reducing glucose production in the liver and increasing the body's sensitivity to insulin, which helps improve blood sugar control. Meanwhile, Sitagliptin Phosphate increases levels of hormones that stimulate insulin secretion and decrease glucagon secretion, leading to lower blood sugar levels after meals. With regular use, Janumet can help reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes.
