diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. 1.2 Combination Therapy JANUVIA is indicated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control in combination with metformin or a PPAR-gamma agonist (e.g., thiazolidinediones) when the single agent alone, with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycemic control. 1.3 Important Limitations of Use JANUVIA should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or for the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis, as it would not be effective in these settings. 2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 2.1 Recommended Dosing The recommended dose of JANUVIA is 100 mg once daily as monotherapy or as combination therapy with metformin or a PPAR-gamma agonist (e.g., thiazolidinediones). JANUVIA can be taken with or without food. 2.2 Patients with Renal Insufficiency For patients with mild renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance (CrCl) greater than or equal to 50 mL/min, approximately corresponding to serum creatinine levels of less than or equal to 1.7 mg/dL in men and less than or equal to 1.5 mg/dL in women), no dosage adjustment for JANUVIA is required. For patients with moderate renal insufficiency (CrCl greater than 30 to less than 50 mL/min, approximately corresponding to serum creatinine levels of greater than 1.7 to less than or equal to 3.0 mg/dL in men and greater than 1.5 to less than or equal to 2.5 mg/dL in women), the dose of JANUVIA is 50 mg once daily. For patients with severe renal insufficiency (CrCl less than 30 mL/min, approximately corresponding to serum creatinine levels of greater than 3.0 mg/dL in men and greater than 2.5 mg/dL in women) or with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis, the dose of JANUVIA is 25 mg once daily. JANUVIA may be administered without regard to the timing of hemodialysis. Because there is a need for d
