Onglyza 2.5mg Tablets, 28 Tablets

Introducing Onglyza 2.5mg Tablets—the next step in controlling blood sugar levels for adults with type 2 diabetes. If diet and exercise aren’t enough, Onglyza can be taken alone or in combination with other anti-diabetic medicines to effectively manage your condition. So start feeling better today and get on the path to a healthier tomorrow with Onglyza 2.5mg Tablets.

Onglyza (saxagliptin) is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. It works by regulating the levels of insulin your body produces after eating.

Onglyza is for people with type 2 diabetes. It is sometimes used in combination with other diabetes medications but is not for treating type 1 diabetes.

Onglyza is indicated in adult patients aged 18 years and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycaemic control:
• In combination with metformin, when metformin alone, with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycaemic control;
• In combination with a sulphonylurea, when the sulphonylurea alone, with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycaemic control in patients for whom use of metformin is considered inappropriate.
• In combination with a thiazolidinedione, when the thiazolidinedione alone with diet and exercise, does not provide adequate glycaemic control in patients for whom use of a thiazolidinedione is considered appropriate.

What is type 2 diabetes?

With type 2 diabetes, your body does not make enough insulin or the kind that’s produced doesn’t work as well. As a result of this imbalance between sugar intake and production by cells (glucose), it will eventually lead to serious medical problems like heart disease; kidney failure – which can cause dialysis treatment if there isn’t another alternative available soon after diagnosis ; blindness due either visual impairment such an glaucoma where optic nerve damage has occurred
or partial sight loss associated with various other causes

  • Type 2 diabetes is a common condition that causes the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood to become too high.
  • It can cause symptoms like excessive thirst, needing to pee a lot and tiredness. It can also increase your risk of getting serious problems with your eyes, heart and nerves.
  • It’s a lifelong condition that can affect your everyday life. You may need to change your diet, take medicines and have regular check-ups.
  • It’s caused by problems with a chemical in the body (hormone) called insulin. It’s often linked to being overweight or inactive, or having a family history of type 2 diabetes.

Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes

Many people have type 2 diabetes without realising. This is because symptoms don’t necessarily make you feel unwell.

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:

  • peeing more than usual, particularly at night
  • feeling thirsty all the time
  • feeling very tired
  • losing weight without trying to
  • itching around your penis or vagina, or repeatedly getting thrush
  • cuts or wounds taking longer to heal
  • blurred vision

You’re more at risk of developing type 2 diabetes if you:

  • are over 40 – or 25 for south Asian people
  • have a close relative with diabetes – such as a parent, brother or sister
  • are overweight or obese
  • are of south Asian, Chinese, African Caribbean or black African origin – even if you were born in the UK

Understanding your type 2 diabetes medication

Most people need medicine to control their type 2 diabetes.

The medicine helps keep your blood sugar level as normal as possible to prevent health problems. You’ll have to take it for the rest of your life.

Diabetes usually gets worse over time, so your medicine or dose may need to change.

Adjusting your diet and being active is also necessary to keep your blood sugar level down.

How to manage your diabetes

A healthy diet and keeping active will help you manage your blood sugar level. It will also help you to control your weight and generally feel better.

YOU CAN EAT MANY TYPES OF FOODS

There’s nothing you can’t eat if you have type 2 diabetes, but you’ll have to limit certain foods.

You should:

  • eat a wide range of foods – including fruit, vegetables and some starchy foods like pasta
  • keep sugar, fat and salt to a minimum
  • eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day – don’t skip meals

If you need to change your diet, it might be easier to make small changes every week.
