Januvia Side Effects (Top voted first)

I have been on Januvia (25mg) for only three days and on day two I started experiencing severe dizziness. I didn't take a dose this morning because I was still dizzy from the previous day's dose. Does this side effect pass or should I contact my doctor?

Stop the drug and notify your MD ASAP.

@Vegas Mama,

The US National Library of Medicine lists "dizziness" as an uncommon side effect of Januvia; at which point it sounds like it would be a good idea to stop taking the medication and contact your doctor right away (as Jerry suggested).

Ref: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0045526/#DDIC602203.side_effects_section

But to further answer your question, some side effects don't necessarily require immediate medical attention, and may very well go away on their own as your body adjusts to the medication... However, using proper judgement based on the severity of your experience - it's definitely NOT something you'd want to wait around and find out if it will progress or not. So contacting your doctor seems like the right call in this specific case.

I hope this helps!
