A member asked:

Iam on janumet500 od my sugar level pp is 180 and random is 120. my stomach is always upset. pls help...

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Metformin problem: Janumet is a combination of januvia (sitagliptin) and metformin. The metformin can cause stomach side effects, usually diarrhea, but also nausea, abd pain. It sounds like you need to switch to other medication to control your sugar. There are many other possible meds, your doctor needs to decide what is best for you.
