Merck Januvia and side effects such as acute pancreatitis

Januvia (generic name: Sitagliptin) is a drug developed by Merck for the treatment of Type II, non-insulin-dependant, diabetes.

WEITZ & LUXENBERG PC IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING JANUVIA CASES.

Januvia is an oral medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. Its function is to regulate the levels of insulin your body produces after eating. Controlling your blood sugar helps prevent kidney problems, blindness, nerve issues, loss of limbs and sexual function problems.

Januvia has recently been linked to side effects such as acute pancreatitis. Those taking Januvia have been warned by the FDA as recently as December 2009 that:
  • Patients should be informed that acute pancreatitis has been reported during postmarketing use of Januvia. Patients should be informed that persistent severe abdominal pain, sometimes radiating to the back, which may or may not be accompanied by vomiting, is the hallmark symptom of acute pancreatitis. Patients should be instructed to promptly discontinue Januvia and contact their physician if persistent severe abdominal pain occurs.
