Onglyza (saxagliptin) is a once-a-day tablet that can be used on its own or with other medications to further lower blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetics. Patients who have type 1 diabetes should not buy Onglyza, as it will not provide any benefit.

There are several circumstances in which type 2 diabetics may want to buy Onglyza:

• As a sole treatment;
• In combination with diet and exercise;
• In combination with other glucose-lowering medications, such as metformin or Glucotrol;
• To replace other glucose-lowering medications with a once-per-day tablet;
• To reduce dependency on injectable insulin.

Onglyza contributes to lower blood glucose in all of the above scenarios for the vast majority of patients. Of course, results are best when combined with diet and exercise, and results will be more potent when combined with other medications, but in practice these aren't always possible.

Controlling diabetes is important to slow, stop, or reverse progression of the disease. Without treatment, it can eventually lead to devastating complications and even death. Patients unable or unwilling to improve diet, exercise regularly, and make other lifestyle changes can still help manage type 2 diabetes with Onglyza.

Getting Started

As mentioned above, Onglyza comes in tablets. There are only two strengths, 2.5 mg and 5 mg. Both are taken just once per day, with or without food according to personal preference. Tablets must be swallowed whole; do not split, crush, or otherwise damage them.

A concern with all anti-diabetic medications is kidney function; patients should have kidney function tested prior to buying Onglyza, as this can affect dosage. Kidneys will also need to be tested periodically throughout treatment.

For adults, treatment is typically:

• Start with 2.5 mg per day for several weeks.
• After a few weeks, if desired results are not achieved and kidney function is not impaired, dosage may be increased to 5 mg per day.
• Patients with kidney impairment will likely be kept at 2.5 mg per day.
• Patients taking other glucose-lowering medications may need to adjust their doses.
• Do not exceed 5 mg per day without explicit doctor approval.

Blood glucose should be checked frequently at the start of treatment and following any dose changes to Onglyza or other medications. Treatment may continue for as long as it provides benefit, provided no severe side effects develop.

Potential Complications

Patients with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis should not buy Onglyza; the medication will not help in these circumstances.

Those who have certain preexisting conditions should also not buy Onglyza without first speaking to a doctor about risks and warning signs. Of particular concern are:

• Heart failure
• Kidney disease
• Pancreatitis
• History of gallstones
• History of alcoholism

Likewise some other medications may interact with Onglyza; of particular concern are:

• Atazanavir
• Indinavir
• Nelfinavir
• Ritonavir
• Saquinavir
• Telithromycin
• Clarithromycin
• Itraconazole
• Ketoconazole
• Nefazodone

To be on the safe side, always double-check with a doctor or pharmacist before mixing any other medication with Onglyza.
