Januvia: Pancreatic Cancer Isn’t the Only Complication

Januvia can cause abnormalities in the pancreas, which can lead to pancreatitis and in worst-case scenarios pancreatic cancer. Symptoms of pancreatic cancer can include abdominal pain, bloating, chills, loss of appetite, fever and weight loss. If you or a loved one has taken Januvia and experienced any negative side effects, it’s crucial to take action. Januvia lawsuits are helping victims get compensation because they weren’t adequately warned about the risk of pancreatic cancer and other problems with the pancreas.

Januvia Side Effects

There’s evidence that taking Januvia can lead to weight gain, shortness of breath and swelling throughout the body. Problems urinating are also common, and severe skin infections have also been reported. This can entail a swollen tongue, burning eyes, and a skin rash that might turn into Stevens Johnson Syndrome (SJS). When skin rashes are especially severe, this can make the skin slough off of the body and blisters can cause permanent blindness.

More common Januvia side effects are flu-like symptoms like a sore throat and runny nose. Headache, back pain and pain in the joints and muscles are also reported. Stomach troubles like diarrhea, constipation and general stomach pain are also common. If a person has IBS or an otherwise sensitive stomach, taking Januvia can exacerbate issues. There are also many other Januvia side effects that a person may experience depending on their age, health and sensitivity to drugs.

Januvia Warnings for Doctors

Doctors are warned to watch out for metabolic issues like hypoglycemia when a patient takes Januvia. Respiratory infections may be more common, and the nervous system can be impacted causing headaches. Renal malfunctions have been reported, and the skin issues like SJS are often caused by becoming hypersensitive because of the medication.

Usually, the body pains are temporary and will go away when a person stops Januvia. However, they can be exceptionally troubling at the time.
