Januvia? Jenovia is a common misspelling of Januvia.
If you have type 2 diabetes, your healthcare provider may prescribe Januvia® (sitagliptin) to help lower your blood sugar levels. By slowing the breakdown of incretin hormones, the medication can increase insulin production in response to meals and decrease glucose production in the liver. If you are pregnant, have kidney problems, or have any allergies, you should consult your healthcare provider before taking Januvia. The drug comes in tablet form, is available in three strengths, and is generally taken once daily.
