ENROLL NOW How It Works
Here is a Janumet cost comparison chart.
There are four main ways to save money on out-of-pocket costs when it comes to prescription medication.
Now that we have given you the four main medication savings programs, there are a few hurdles to go over in each of those areas. We will be quick about this…
When you join a health insurance program, you will have high deductibles, copays, and things of that nature.
When you have prescription drug discount cards, the discounts are uneven all across the board.
Coupons sponsored directly from the pharmaceutical manufacturer specifically for brand-name medications are excellent in the short run. For the long term, there is a lot of money still left out of your pocket…
Last are the pharmaceutical manufacturer’s patient assistance programs that give away FREE medication to individuals who qualify, which provides unmatched medication savings for the long term.
Qualifying for Janumet patient assistance programs is based on household income guidelines. Every patient assistance program uses different criteria for qualification, so we use the information below as general guidelines:
Prescription Hope suggests that anyone looking to save money on Janumet submit an enrollment form.
Suppose you do not qualify to receive Janumetthrough patient assistance programs. In that case, we will never charge a service fee for that medication.
Soon after submitting an enrollment form, we will determine whether you qualify to receive the medications you have requested for FREE through patient assistance programs.
Suppose we find a program that will work for you. In that case, we will reach out to you for any additional information needed and reach out to your healthcare provider for the prescription.
Once we receive this information back, we immediately order your medication for you. After that, Prescription Hope works to manage medication orders, refill medications on time throughout the year, maintain up-to-date records, and renew your prescription medication’s enrollment every year.
Once your enrollment form is submitted and you are pre-qualified, the first shipment of prescription medication typically arrives within four to six weeks. We will then place refills ahead of time so that you receive your medication on a regular schedule.
During the four to six week enrollment period, we recommend that you ask your healthcare provider if they could provide you with Janumet samples while waiting for your first shipment.
Through our program, Americans save thousands every year from the retail cost of their prescription medications through Prescription Hope. To learn more about how Prescription Hope works, you can visit our website.

Janumet is a prescription drug that contains two medications – sitagliptin (Januvia) and metformin hydrochloride. It is used along with diet and exercise to control high blood sugar levels in those who have type 2 diabetes.
Janumet is also available as an extended-release medicine under the name Janumet XR and contains the extended-release form of metformin.
Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that works by increasing incretins. Incretins are natural substances that help control blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production, particularly after meals. They also limit the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
Metformin helps the body respond properly to insulin and decreases the amount of glucose produced by the liver.
Janumet also contains other active ingredients such as:
The tablet film coating of Janumet contains the following inactive ingredients:
Janumet should always be taken exactly as your healthcare provider has prescribed it. It is usually taken by mouth two times a day with meals. It is recommended that you drink plenty of water when taking this medication.
The manufacturer of Janumet recommends that you never break, split, or chew the drug tablet.
The dose you are given will be based specifically on your condition and response to treatment. However, your dose should never exceed the maximum for each medication contained in Janumet – 100 mg sitagliptin and 2000 mg metformin.
Your healthcare provider may start you on a dose lower than what is expected in the beginning to test your tolerance to the drug. They may then gradually increase your dose until your blood glucose is adequately controlled. Gradually increasing your dose can also help reduce side effects.
Administering Janumet with food can help prevent gastrointestinal side effects.
Patients that make changes to their lifestyles, such as their diet and exercise, should consult their healthcare provider and carefully monitor their blood sugar. In some cases, your dose may need to be adjusted.

This medication is not indicated for treating patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.
Metformin, which is contained in Janumet, can cause a rare but serious condition known as lactic acidosis (lactic acid buildup in the blood). Lactic acidosis is a medical condition that can be life-threatening and needs to be treated at the hospital. Immediate discontinue Janumet and call your healthcare provider if you experience any of the following symptoms:
You may have a higher chance of developing lactic acidosis with Janumet if:
Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) is another condition that can occur in those that take Janumet. This condition can be severe and life-threatening in some cases. Certain preexisting medical problems may make you more susceptible to this condition. Notify your healthcare provider if you have ever had pancreatitis. Discontinue Janumet and call your healthcare provider right away if you have severe abdominal pain.
Before taking Janumet, talk to your healthcare provider about the history of your medical conditions, especially if you have or ever had severe breathing problems (asthma, COPD, etc.), blood problems (anemia, vitamin B12 deficiency), kidney or liver disease, disease of the pancreas (pancreatitis), or gallstones.
Let your healthcare provider know if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. Janumet should only be taken during pregnancy when it is clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits of taking this medication during pregnancy with your healthcare provider.
Consult your healthcare provider before breastfeeding while taking Janumet. Some ingredients in the drug may pass through breast milk in small amounts.
The most common side effects of Janumet may include:
Some individuals that take DPP-4 inhibitors may develop joint pain that can be severe or a skin reaction called bullous pemphigoid. Bullous pemphigoid can be serious and may require treatment at a hospital. Notify your healthcare provider if you begin to develop blisters or erosion of the skin.
Taking metformin for long periods can cause a decrease in the vitamin B12 levels in your blood, especially if you have had vitamin B12 deficiency before. Your healthcare provider may perform blood tests to monitor your vitamin B12 levels.
Janumet should be stored at 68°F to 77°F (20°C to 25°C) and out of the reach of children at all times. Also, make sure the medication is stored in an airtight container if the package is removed.
Drug interactions can increase your risk of having serious side effects or may change how certain medications work. Always let your healthcare provider know about all other medications you are taking, including other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, or herbal supplements.
Beta-blockers may mask some of the symptoms of low blood sugar, such as having a fast or pounding heartbeat.
Taking Janumet with insulin or other glucose-lowering drugs can increase your risk of having hypoglycemia. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when taking your medications, especially if you have to combine prescription drugs.
There are multiple other drugs on the market that can affect your blood sugar control. Talk to your healthcare provider about starting, stopping, or changing medications if your blood sugar is not easily controlled with your current treatment.
