Onglyza 2.5mg Tablet is an anti-diabetic medication. It works by increasing the release of insulin from the pancreas and decreasing the hormones that raise blood sugar levels. This reduces the fasting and postmeal sugar levels.

Onglyza containing the active ingredient saxagliptin is considered an antidiabetic type of medication. It is used to treat patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It works by increasing the amount of insulin produced by the body after meals when blood sugar is high. Controlling high blood sugar levels can help prevent sexual function problems, loss of limbs, nerve problems, blindness and kidney damage. Proper control of diabetes may also decrease the risk of a stroke or heart attack.

How does Saxagliptin work?

Saxagliptin is used to treat high blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. This drug should be used in conjunction with proper diet and regular exercise for effective glycaemic control.

Saxagliptin may also be prescribed for other conditions as determined by the doctor.

Saxagliptin belongs to the class of drugs called anti-diabetic agents. This drug acts by inhibiting certain enzymes, which results in a decrease in incretin hormone levels. It also acts by inhibiting the glucagon production and stimulating insulin release from pancreatic cells. Thus, it helps in lowering the blood glucose levels.

Uses

Saxagliptin/metformin is used with a proper diet and exercise program to control high blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke.This product contains 2 medications: saxagliptin and metformin. Saxagliptin works by increasing levels of natural substances called incretins. Incretins help to control blood sugar by increasing insulin release, especially after a meal. They also decrease the amount of sugar your liver makes. Metformin lowers blood sugar by helping to restore your body’s proper response to the insulin. It also decreases the amount of sugar that your liver makes and that your stomach/intestines absorb.
