Janumet is generally taken orally twice daily, ideally in the morning and evening. Tablets should be taken with a meal to reduce the chance of an upset stomach. If you forget to take a dose, you should take the missed Janumet tablet with your next meal, unless you already due to take a tablet at that time. Do not take a double dose.

This should be continued throughout the duration of this medication. If you feel that the medication is still not controlling your blood sugar levels then speak to your doctor or medical professional. You can increase your dosage, increase the quantity or try an alternative diabetes treatment.
