Hi, I started taking Januvia approx. 3 months ago. Around the time I started taking this new drug, I started getting very bad hives. The allergist said in no way could it be from a drug. I was watching t.v. this evening when a commercial for Januvia came on and they said hives are a serious side effect and if you are experiencing rthis, call your doctor right away. Has anyone else out there had hives after taking Januvia? It also made me feel like I have a cold that will not go away.

the samples from the doctor worked great! started a new bottle of another 3 months supply, and BS went to 400! a week ago, started to get hives every 3-4 days.now, every day at night, 12 hrs. after taking Januvia, hives break out on back. waist, buttocks, arms.was in ER yesterday, they said rash from Januvia unlikely, because they HAVEN'T SEEN IT BEFORE. After insulin injections, BS only got down to 295. Afraid to eat, 9 hrs. later had a tomato and cucumber sandwich, and BS went back up to 360. My doctor added Metformin to Januvia, and I am now once again with horrible diarrhea, after only one dose of 500mg Met. BS is still sky high, and the ER didn't seem too concerned. Anyone ever hear of hives from Januvia? HELP!!
