Onglyza (active ingredient: saxagliptin) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Onglyza is used to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus, as an adjunct to diet and exercise.

Onglyza belongs to a class of drugs known as dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which work by increasing the levels of incretin hormones in the body. These hormones help to control blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release and reducing the production of glucose by the liver.

Saxagliptin, which is sold under the brand name Onglyza, is available in tablet form and should be taken orally once daily with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water immediately after taking. The manufacturer advises against cutting, crushing, or chewing the tablet.

Take Saxagliptin regularly according to your dosing schedule, as your dosage is determined by your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you are taking. Even if you feel well, do not stop taking this medication to avoid complications of diabetes. Note, Saxagliptin should be used in conjunction with a treatment plan that includes a recommended diet, exercise, and other medications prescribed by your physician.

The recommended dosage of Onglyza (Saxagliptin) is 2.5 mg or 5 mg taken orally once a day, regardless of meals. The dose may be adjusted based on individual patient needs, and your doctor may also prescribe a different dosage depending on other medications you are taking or your medical condition.
