Authorized genericNot sold
There isn’t one. An authorized generic is Janumet itself, from the same company, sold without the brand name, and usually for less. A regular generic is sold, with the same active ingredient: ask the pharmacy for its price.

What to say at the pharmacy
“Before you fill my Janumet, can you tell me what I’d pay for the brand and for a generic?”
Paying cash? Ask for each one’s cash price. With insurance, ask what your plan charges for each.
What it’s used for
What the FDA label says
JANUMET is a combination of sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor, and metformin hydrochloride (HCl), a biguanide, indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Limitations of Use:
- JANUMET should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes.
- JANUMET has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis.

Good to know
- A regular generic may look different from Janumet. The FDA requires it to work the same way.
- “Commercial insurance” means a plan from a job, from the marketplace, or one you buy yourself. A retiree plan that’s part of Medicare counts as Medicare. Check the maker’s page for who can use it.
- Most cards need a sign-up on the maker’s site, and many work only if your plan covers the drug. Then give the card’s details to your pharmacy.
- Don’t stop or change a medicine without talking to your pharmacist or prescriber.
