What Is Onglyza (Saxagliptin)?
Onglyza is a pill used to lower your blood sugar levels. It can help you on the path to a healthier life, and should be used in combination with a proper diet and exercise. Onglyza is designed to increase the amount of insulin in your body so as to better absorb glucose out of your bloodstream.
Onglyza prescription FAQs
How Does Onglyza Work?
Insulin is released by the pancreas following a meal to increase the adsorption of glucose from your food so it can used by your organs and tissues. However, for those with diabetes, glucose is not leaving the blood for any number of reasons. This leads dangerously high blood sugar levels.
Onglyza is in a class of drugs called dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. These inhibitors communicate with your pancreas and stimulate it to produce more insulin. They also slow your liver's production of glucose, overall helping to lower blood sugar.
What Are the Associated Dosages and Treatments for Onglyza?
The recommended dosage of Onglyza is 2.5 mg or 5 mg once daily. These should be taken at the same time each day, without meals. The tablets must not be split or cut, and you should always follow your doctor's specific directions in regards to dosage.
If you are taking Onglyza with other forms of insulin, your dosage of either drug may be lowered to avoid hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
What Are the Benefits of Onglyza?
Regaining control over your blood sugar levels is key to helping you live a healthy, full life. Onglyza is not a cure for diabetes, but can be used with lifestyle changes to help slow the progression and reduce the risks of the disease.
