CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Onglyza is indicated in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
as an adjunct to diet and exercise to
improve glycaemic control:

as monotherapy when metformin is inappropriate due to intolerance or
contraindications

in combination with other medicinal products for the treatment of
diabetes, including insulin,
when these do not provide adequate glycaemic control (see sections
4.4, 4.5 and 5.1 for
available data on different combinations).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended dose of Onglyza is 5 mg once daily. When Onglyza is
used in combination with
insulin or a sulphonylurea, a lower dose of the insulin or
sulphonylurea may be required to reduce the
risk of hypoglycaemia (see section 4.4).
The safety and efficacy of saxagliptin as triple oral therapy in
combination with metformin and a
thiazolidinedione have not been established.
