Dr. Ahmadi of UCLA took me off Junuvia because she read of test subjects developing a fungus in their gut. Otherwise, J did nothing for me that I know of.

I've been on Januvia more than 10 years (taking 1 100mg tablet daily) and have developed pains in my abdomen area...not tummy aches but pains as if some one is hitting me in my stomach. I was advised some time ago that pancreaitis (unsure of spelling) is a side effect of Januvia. Is this true and should I continue taking it? Gloria K -
