Janucard M 50/500 Tablet is used to treat Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Sitagliptin and Metformin are combined to form Janucard M 50/500 Tablet . Metformin slows down the release of stored sugar from the liver, decreases the amount of sugar absorbed from the stomach, and improves how your body uses sugar. Sitagliptin increases the body's production of chemicals that stimulate the pancreas to release more insulin, thereby helping to regulate blood sugar levels. Thus, Janucard M 50/500 Tablet controls blood glucose levels from rising to very high after meals.
Increased hunger, increased thirst, frequent urination (usually at night), unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, slow wound/sore healing, and frequent infections are the signs of type 2 diabetes. Please consult your doctor if you notice such symptoms.
No. Janucard M 50/500 Tablet is only prescribed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, also called non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

Some researchers recommend the intake of vitamin B12 from external sources at least once a year to avoid such problems.
