About Janumet 50/1000 mg Tablet:

Janumet 50/1000 mg tablet is a combination of two anti-diabetic medications, used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Each film-coated Janumet 50/1000 mg tablet contains 64.25 mg of Sitagliptin Phosphate Monohydrate equivalent to 50 mg of Sitagliptin, 1000 mg of Metformin Hydrochloride and Excipients q.s.

Sitagliptin selectively inhibits the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) enzyme that rapidly truncates and inactivates incretin hormones such as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Incretin hormones increase insulin synthesis and decrease glucagon release in a manner dependent on glucose concentrations. These effects lead to an overall increase in blood glucose control.

Metformin is a biguanide antihyperglycaemic agent which improves glucose tolerance by lowering both basal and postprandial plasma glucose. It decreases hepatic glucose production, delays intestinal glucose absorption, and improves insulin sensitivity by enhancing peripheral glucose uptake and utilization.
