Januvia? Ganuvia is a common misspelling of Januvia.
If you have type 2 diabetes, your healthcare provider may prescribe Januvia® (sitagliptin) to help control your blood sugar levels. This drug works by increasing the insulin production in response to meals and by decreasing the amount of sugar produced by the liver.
Potential side effects with Januvia include headaches, sore throat, and upper respiratory infections, among others. It comes in tablet form and is taken by mouth once a day. Conditions you should tell your healthcare provider about before beginning treatment include any allergies or kidney problems, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
