As of late 2025, there is no generic equivalent of the brand-name drug Januvia (sitagliptin) available in the U.S. that is interchangeable with the original. The active ingredient in Januvia is sitagliptin, which has a key patent that expires in 2026, though a different generic sitagliptin formulation (Zituvio) is available.

While searching for a specific medication, many people encounter confusion, particularly with sound-alike drug names. The term "ziti drug" does not refer to a recognized prescription medication; it is likely a misinterpretation of one of several drugs with similar-sounding names, most commonly Zetia or Zituvio. Addressing this misunderstanding is crucial for ensuring proper medication adherence and patient safety.
