Suggest An Alternative Of Janumet
janumet is too expensive for my retirement income. I have aarp insurance for prescriptions, but it is April and I am already in the doughnut hole. There must surely be alternatives to this drug that are more affordable. I read there are 14 alternatives but after searching the internet I can only come up with one. Please suggest alternatives=TERRY

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Janumet is an oral prescription medicine that along with diet and exercise helps lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. JANUMET (JAN-you-met) tablets contain 2 prescription medicines: sitagliptin (JANUVIA®) and metformin.
You can take Metformin, but this will be less effective as compared to JANUMET.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Narender Kumar
