Januvia Indications/Uses

Monotherapy: JANUVIA is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Combination with Metformin: JANUVIA is indicated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control in combination with metformin as initial therapy or when the single agent alone, with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycemic control.
Combination with a Sulfonylurea: JANUVIA is indicated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control in combination with a sulfonylurea when treatment with the single agent alone, with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycemic control.
Combination with a PPARγ agonist: JANUVIA is indicated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control in combination with a PPARγ agonist (e.g., thiazolidinediones) when the single agent alone, with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycemic control.
Combination with Metformin and a Sulfonylurea: JANUVIA is indicated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control in combination with metformin and a sulfonylurea when dual therapy with these agents, with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycemic control.
Combination with Insulin: JANUVIA is also indicated as add-on to insulin (with or without metformin) when diet and exercise plus stable dose of insulin do not provide adequate glycemic control.
Important Limitations of Use: JANUVIA should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis, as it would not be effective in these settings.
JANUVIA has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis. It is unknown whether patients with a history of pancreatitis are at increased risk for the development of pancreatitis while using JANUVIA. (See Pancreatitis under Precautions.)
