Januvia Is In My Stool

I don't know why the pill did not dissolve. I picked it up just to make sure, with a glove on of course. No wonder my sugar was high every morning. I took this medication at night. But not only 1 pill, I took 3. Before that I was bloated and had diarrhea that morning, but when I passed the stool I felt relieved n felt good. I stopped and found that my sugar levels were fine in the morning and my blood sugar is ok.

What you are seeing in your stool is just the shell of the pill. Some components of this medication are not meant to be digested or dissolved by your body, instead they are part of a mechanism to help control how much of the medication you receive in your body, at once.

If you stopped taking it abruptly, you need to inform your doctor and discuss the issue with them, as your blood sugar may soon soar out of control.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
