Onglyza

Onglyza or saxagliptin is an oral diabetes medication that helps control blood sugar levels. It is for people with type 2 diabetes. Onglyza is sometimes used in combination with other diabetes medications. Onglyza is not used for treating type 1 diabetes.

Controlling high sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes will help prevent kidney problems, nerve problems, blindness, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of sugar may lessen our risk of a heart attack or a stroke.
