Based on the spelling, I think you may have meant to say "Januvia" (sitagliptin phosphate). Is that correct?

Januvia is an oral prescription medication marketed for managing type-2 diabetes. MedlinePlus.gov states that it works by increasing the amounts of certain natural substances that lower blood sugar when it is high.

According to the manufacturer's claims, Januvia can reportedly lower blood sugar more than Metformin alone and is said to be very powerful in that regard.

Drug Class: dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors - (antihyperglycemic)
Manufacturer: Merck & Co.

Dosing: Januvia is said to be taken once a day with or without food.

I hope this helps!
