A member asked:
How long does it take januvia (sitagliptin) to start working? and can it lessen the effect of steroid injections for back pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Januvia (sitagliptin): You should notice januvia's effects within a day or two of taking it. In general improvement in blood sugar should improve longterm effects of epidural steroid injections. Poor controlled sugars make pain improvement difficult.
