Onglyza Information:

Onglyza, a medication often prescribed to manage type 2 diabetes, works by increasing the release of insulin and decreasing the amount of glucose produced by the liver. Onglyza cost may vary depending on the prescribed dosage and quantity required.

Onglyza is a prescription drug that Bristol-Myers Squibb/AstraZeneca manufactured to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults and the FDA approved it in 2009. The active ingredient of Onglyza is Saxagliptin. With several trials, saxagliptin is now considered safe and efficient in the control of high sugar levels.

Saxagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor that averts the release of the incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide to enhance glycaemic control. This results in the rise of GLP-1 levels and stimulates insulin secretion that facilitates the reduction of postprandial glucagon and glucose levels.

Saxagliptin has proven beneficial for individuals with close targets of HbA1c who often experience elevated glucose levels post meals. You can buy Onglyza online at our pharmacy at variable prices.
