Dear sir i understand your concern. both januvia and tradjenta belong to same family and not abig difference but the med what you are taking is janumet which is combination of two drugs.so definitely Janumet is a good and effective than tradjenta...if your sugars are good why to change medication..just think over..you may not have any added benefit from new medicine
