Whats That
Onglyza 2.5 mg Tablet contains saxagliptin, which belongs to the class of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults. Onglyza 2.5 mg Tablet is prescribed for the condition of type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone cannot control their blood sugar levels. It is the first-line therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes that restores the body's response to insulin. Insulin is the hormone that controls sugar levels in your blood. People with type 2 diabetes either do not produce enough insulin, or the insulin produced is unable to perform its function in the body (insulin resistance). Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, so it is also known as adult-onset diabetes.
Onglyza 2.5 mg Tablet works by blocking the action of DPP-4 (an enzyme which destroys the hormone ‘Incretin’). The enzyme ‘Incretins’ helps to produce more insulin only when required and reduces blood sugar levels produced by the liver when not needed.
