JANUVIA is a once a day prescription pill that helps decrease blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. However there are some significant Januvia Side Effects that have been reported. This presentation discusses Januvia side effects and treatment options as well as reviewing the underlying studies establishing links from drugs like Januvia and Januvia side effects. What are Januvia Side Effects? One of the severe Januvia side effects has been Chronic pancreatitis that has been linked to pancreatic cancer that is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death in the US. Januvia side effects can cause significant health issues and even Merck, the manufacturer establishes this right in its package warnings. Since it was first introduced by Merck in October 2006, signs have existed that suggest there is a connection between pancreatic cancer and Januvia. However, the manufacturer appears to have ignored these safety signals and failed to provide adequate warnings about the risk of cancer from Januvia and Janumet. Within a three years of Januvia being introduced in the United States, an increasing number of reports of Januvia side effects began to surface of users developing pancreatitis, which involves an inflammation of the pancreas. Chronic pancreatitis could substantially increase the risk of developing pancreas cancer from Januvia the longer an individual stays on the drug, highlighting the devastating effects of Mercks’ failure to provide proper warnings to consumers about the risk of pancreas injury and Januvia side effects.

5. Januvia Side Effects
Studies and Review
Januvia side effects began surfacing shortly after the drug’s launch.
Between 2006 when Januvia was launched and 2009, the FDA received
over 80 cases of acute pancreatitis, some severe. Over half of the
patients required hospitalization.
The FDA found that a statistically significant number of pancreatitis cases
occurred within 30 days of starting Januvia and just over half of the
issues subsided once Januvia was discontinued.

Studies and Review
A 2009 study found that Januvia side effects might lead to pancreatitis in
some patients and a higher risk of pancreatic cancer in people who use
Januvia over a long period of time.
A study published in 2011 in the journal of Gastroenterology (07/11)
purported a link between Januvia use and an increased risk of Januvia
side effects including pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. Based on data
reviewed, patients who were treated with Januvia had 6 times the risk of
pancreatitis and nearly 3 times the risk of pancreatic cancer.
In early 2013, the FDA began a new round of investigations on more
studies linking Januvia Side Effects and Pancreatic Cancer.

9. Januvia Side Effect Treatment
 If a Pancreatitis attack leaves permanent damage,
patients may need surgery to remove their gallbladder
or a part of the pancreas that has been damaged.
Individuals may need another surgical procedure to
widen a narrow pancreatic duct or to remove tissue or
stones that are blocking the pancreatic duct. Surgery
can also drain a pseudo-cyst or an obstructed
pancreatic duct.
 If a patient’s pancreas has been severely damaged
From Januvia or Byetta side effects, they may need to
take insulin to help their body control blood sugar. The
individual may also have to take medication to help
their body digest fat and protein. If patients already
have Diabetes, they will likely need to change their
treatment regime.

10. Pancreatitis Treatment
 Pancreatitis is extremely important to treat aggressively as it can lead to pancreatic
cancer.
 Pancreatic cancer is the growth of cancerous cells in the pancreas. Unfortunately,
Pancreatic Cancer is often missed as a diagnosis because of its difficulty to identify.
 Pancreatic Cancer cells spread rapidly and are not usually detected in their early
stages. Because of this, pancreatic cancer is a major contributor to cancer death
statistics. For pancreatic cancer that cannot be treated entirely with surgery, or cancer
that has spread outside the pancreas, a cure is not viable and the average outcome is
loss of life usually less than 1 year. Most people diagnosed with this form of cancer will
yeild a five year life expectancy.
 It is important to get different opinions and learn all options once a patient is diagnosed
with pancreatic issues, or has taken medications that have lead to Pancreatitis.
