Novartis, the manufacturer of Galvus, now claims that its drug is effective when taken once daily, but doctors may be skeptical of that claim."<BR/><BR/>Januvia dose is 100 mg po qd; in patients with renal impairment, the dose is 50 mg po qd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-1162861650783147752006-11-06T20:07:00.000-05:002006-11-06T20:07:00.000-05:00***CORRECTION*** THERE ARE QUITE FEWER SITAGLIPTI...***CORRECTION*** THERE ARE QUITE FEWER SITAGLIPTIN STUDIES OUT THERE VS/.

Sitagliptin received approval for a once a day indication having the same type of studies as vildagliptin, even though there are quite fewer vildagliptin studies out there. So what leads you to believe that vildagliptin will be twice a day and not once a day like sitagliptin? Are you aware that sitagliptin has a dosage warning with renal impared patients??? Your answer would be very interesting!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11326364.post-1162831167800660842006-11-06T11:39:00.000-05:002006-11-06T11:39:00.000-05:00$4.50 a pill to produce, and probably $14.50 a pil...$4.50 a pill to produce, and probably $14.50 a pill to sell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
