Does anyone else on here take Januvia? I have been taking it a week, and developed a cough, sore chest and throat and ulcers have started on my tongue.

Also, you are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

This is according to the Januvia website.

" thanks sockFuzz. I did stop taking the Januvia as soon as I learned about the risk of cancer. The mouth sores are growing in number even after 4 days of not taking the med. I can't get an appointment with my doc but will report the symptoms I have to the link you posted.. thanks again. :) "
