Janumet Diarrhea And Headaches

Updated

I have been taking janumet 50/1000 twice a day for about 2 weeks. My question is when will the side effects stop? I have had painful gas, diarrhea and headaches. I have notices the gas pains have slowed a lot, but there seems to be no end in sight for the other 2. Help! I hated taking metformin but it is helping my sugars are down so I am reluctant to stop. Would the xr be better?

Those can be normal side effects of Janumet, according to FDA reports, other side effects may include runny nose, and joint pain.

Ref: Janumet Information

Typically, side effects hit their peak around 4 to 6 weeks of taking on steady dose of a new medication, then they should start to taper off, before eventually disappearing entirely.

How severe are the headaches? Have you discussed the issue with your doctor?
