A member asked:

I am short of breath and have congestion and heart burn after januvia (sitagliptin). are these side effects?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubt it: Hi. None of the things you describe would be expected from Januvia (sitagliptin). More likely you coincidentally have a cold and acid reflux. If the shortness of breath is serious or worrisome, see your doctor.
