Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My mother is on Metformin 500 mg. once a day for diabetes. She used to be one Janumet, and at first the Metformin did not seem to work at well, but now she seems fine. Are these medicines the same? Please let me know. Thankyou, Martha Miller, Novi, MI

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Janumet is combination of Sutagliptin and Metformin. Just be careful with her blood sugar levels as she is on one drug in contrast to two drugs previously. Keep a check on her sugar level by FBS , RBS and HbAic.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
