WHAT KOMBOGLYZE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
This medicine contains two different substances called:
saxagliptin, part of a class of medicines called DPP-4 inhibitors
(dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors),
and metformin, part of a class of medicines called biguanides.
Both belong to a group of medicines called oral anti-diabetics.
WHAT KOMBOGLYZE IS USED FOR
This medicine is used to treat a type of diabetes called ‘type 2
diabetes’.
HOW KOMBOGLYZE WORKS
Saxagliptin and metformin work together to control your blood sugar.
They increase the levels of
insulin after a meal. They also lower the amount of sugar made by your
body. Along with diet and
exercise, this helps lower your blood sugar. This medicine can be used
alone or together with other
antidiabetic medicines, including insulin.
To control your diabetes, you still need to diet and exercise, even
when you are taking this medicine.
So it is important to keep following the advice about diet and
exercise from your doctor or nurse.
