JANUVIA 25 MG 28 PCS _ WASFATY
Product Description
Januvia 25 mg is a prescription medication designed to help control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It contains sitagliptin, an active ingredient that belongs to a class of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors. This medication works by increasing the levels of natural substances in the body called incretins. Incretins help to control blood sugar by increasing insulin release, especially after a meal, and by decreasing the amount of sugar made by the liver. Januvia 25 mg is typically used in conjunction with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control.Benefits of Use
