Abstract |
Used together, sitagliptin ( Januvia) and metformin ( Glucophage) help to improve glycemic levels in diabetic patients, suggesting a synergy between the agents. However, the cost of sitagliptin and the need for more data may restrict its use. More studies are needed to assess the effects of long-term sitagliptin and to determine its role in combination therapy.
