Dosage & administration

* Take JANUMET XR orally once daily with a meal. Patients taking two JANUMET XR tablets should take the tablets together.
* Individualize the dosage of JANUMET XR on the basis of the patient’s current regimen, effectiveness, and tolerability.
* The maximum recommended daily dose is 100 mg of sitagliptin and 2000 mg of metformin HCl extended-release.
* The recommended starting dose in patients not currently treated with metformin is 100 mg sitagliptin and 1000 mg metformin HCl once daily, with gradual dose escalation recommended to reduce the gastrointestinal effects due to metformin.

* Discontinue if eGFR later falls below 30 mL/min/1.73 m2.
