Question : Does anyone know about the prescription drug Janumet?
My dr. prescribed it for my diabetes. I asked for something to help me loose weight. He said this would make the weight fall off. Does it work for weight, or just my diabetes? He doesn’t seem to want to prescribe a weight loss pill due to all of the side effects.

Although I am not the expert, your doctor should have prescribed Byetta to help with weight loss. Janumet has no positive effects on weight. Metformin might help a little with the weight, but the Janu component will not. However, the reason your doctor prescribed this medication is because metformin may no longer be working for you because diabetes is a progressive disease.
