I too can’t understand why januvia is so expensive, my husband takes metformin and he has normal blood sugars. My doc will have to change mine or else I will find a doc that will change it.

Please contact merck medco directly. They have a patient assistance program for people who have no insurance or who may have insurance but may alo be taking very expensive meds that they’re already paying for. Last year, I didn’t have insurance and I made less than $42,000 a year so I qualified to get them free for 12 months. My application is due again and this time around I not only have no insurance, but I’m unemployed at the moment as well. So please look into this program cause nothing is better than free.

There are coupons online for januvia that you can print and take to the pharmacist. The first coupon is for the first month free. Then you can get it for about $5 a month with the card you print out. I googled it and found it

I’m concerned about the possible conflict of interest between pharmaceuticals and
doctors prescribing Januvia. I currently take both metformin and januvia for my Type 2.
An article in the current AARP Bulletin states, “Very often, patients with diabetes can avoid drugs altogether by losing weight, excersising more and stopping smoking.
At 78, I excercise daily, I’m a lean machine, and I have never smoked.
Can I ask my doctor to take me off Januvia without raising his ire?

It is a crime that drug companies charge these outlandish prices when in fact the government helps support the research that goes into the medications. Conspiracy…perhaps. Your government at work again.

I cannot believe anyone would take Januvia during pregnancy! This drug is too new, there were no studies done on pregnant women, and there is no way to know what the long term effects on your child may be. Insulin has been tried and true and safe and should have been the choice that afforded you excellent control without hurting your baby or putting the baby at risk for the unknown complication.

I was just this week, diagnosed with type II. Got an Rx for Metaformin and Januvia. Took it to CVS. Asked the price of Januvia. $522 or $460 with their Care card. (self-pay) Told ‘em no. If I wish to be robbed, I’ll shop in da hood.
