Feb 11, 2010 · My Dr. prescribed Janumet. Currently taking two 50/1000 per day. Unfortunately, my new health plan says it is non-formulary. So, the copay goes up to $100 for 3 months supply which is double the previous plan. My Dr. likes the Janumet as it has Januvia and metaformin. The Januvia helps you...

Sep 7, 2010 · Not sure the Janumet made any difference regarding weight loss for me, but then I didn't have a lot to lose. Supposedly it curbs the appetite a little but I noticed no difference in that. I've heard that another drug, Victoza, works a little better at appetite control and Dr. Bernstein recommends it to cure the "munchies".

Mar 5, 2010 · I stopped Janumet for a while and took an extra 500mg met and noticed no difference in my numbers by eliminating the Januvia part. The only reason I started taking it again is my endo balked at me taking the extra 500mg metformin that's in Janumet without taking the Januvia too--He wants me to take the Janumet 50/500 along with the Glucophage ...

Jun 11, 2008 · Despite round 2 with another doc who isn't quite a fit, I do have questiosn about his recommendation to switch to Janumet. I have to pay full price on meds until I reach my insanely high deductible for my high deductible health plan, so I am questioning whether its worth it -- I pay $12.99 a month for metformin, and janumet would be $185 a month.

Jul 20, 2018 · Janumet is a combo drug, with the first number being the amount of the Januvia in the pill and the second number is the amount of Metformin the pill contains. Now, if you had been taking only the 500mg of Metformin 4 times per day, then that was a total of 2000 mg (just like I …

Mar 3, 2010 · I was taking Glyburide 5 mg for about 9 years, recently my cardiologist recommend to use Janumet 50/1000 twice a day because is more adequate to my high blood pressure condition. With Janumet alone my glucose levels are still so high, now I am taking combined, 1 Glyburide 5+1 Janumet 50/1000...

May 24, 2016 · My Doc just put me on Janumet (have been taking just Metformin for last couple of years, but my last A1C was a little high). When I picked them up at the pharmacy last evening the pharmacist wasn't there, but I noticed the sticker on the bottle mentioned to avoid alcohol with this particular med. Now, to start off I am nowhere near an alcoholic.

Sep 3, 2009 · hi ..im new to this forum .i was wondering if anyone can tell me how long does it usually take for janumet 50/1000 to take effect ,i have switched from metformin 850 and have only been taking it for 3 days :confused:

In 2011 I started off on 2*50/1000 Janumet a day. The Januvia was the first deleted and the Metformin was later reduced to 2*500mg a day. Since 2017 I have been receiving chemo for initially Stage 3 NSCLC which in 2019 was classed as Stage 4 though it had never metastisised to a distant organ.
