What is Onglyza (Saxagliptin)?

Onglyza (Saxagliptin) is a prescription medication that is classified as a dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor.

What is Onglyza used for? 

It is used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (adjunct to diet and exercise) as monotherapy or combination therapy.

How does it work?

It inhibits the DPP4 enzyme which is responsible for metabolizing GLP-1 enzymes which are useful for lowering blood glucose levels by increasing insulin release and decreasing glucagon levels. 

How do I take Onglyza? 

Take your Onglyza (Saxagliptin) by mouth with or without food at the same time every day as directed by your doctor. 

What dosages are available?

Onglyza (Saxagliptin) comes only as a brand name in a 2.5mg or 5mg tablet. 

What is the recommended dosage?

Typically it is dosed 2.5mg once daily but take as directed by your doctor.

What is the maximum dosage?

The maximum recommended dosage is 5mg/day.

What if I miss a dose?

Take the medication as soon as possible if you have missed a dose. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and return back to your regular schedule. Never double the dose.

What should you know before you take Onglyza (Saxagliptin)?

Severe/disabling arthralgia has been reported with DPP-4 inhibitors. Onset can occur within a day to years after starting therapy. 

Bullous pemphigoid development has been associated with DPP-4 inhibitors.

Hypersensitivity reactions (immediate), such as anaphylaxis and angioedema, have been reported and are not dose-related. 

Cases of acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer have been reported with use of incretin-based therapies (e.g., DDP4 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide 1 [GLP-1] receptor agonists).

Kidney dysfunction may require a dose adjustment

• eGFR > 45 mL/minute/1.73m2: No dose adjustment needed. 
• eGFR < 45 mL/minute/1.73m2: 2.5 mg once daily

Severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) does not have any dose adjustments in the manufacturer’s labeling (has not been studied).

Dose-related decrease in lymphocyte levels has been reported, but clinical significance is not known. 

Acute pancreatitis has been reported with use. 

Treatment with a DDP-4 inhibitor has been associated with heart failure. However, a large-randomized, double-blinded study in patients with established cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes showed that the occurrence of the primary composite outcome (history of major CAD, atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease, or ischemic cerebrovascular disease), the occurrence of the primary composite cardiovascular outcome (nonfatal MI, nonfatal stroke, cardiovascular death, or hospitalization for unstable angina) with sitagliptin was found to be noninferior to placebo. The rate of hospitalization for heart failure did not differ between the two groups. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) suggests that DPP-4 inhibitors (except saxagliptin) can be considered in patients with heart failure.
