    Weight loss is not listed as a reported side effect in the product labeling for Januvia. Januvia does cause nausea and vomiting in some patients which may lead to a loss or decrease in appetite - which can cause weight loss.  Three kilograms in six months is a safe weight loss as long as you are not underweight.  If you are still concerned, address that with your doctor at your next appointment.
