Kombiglyze XR 5/500 mg

Kombiglyze XR 5/500 mg is a prescription combination of Saxagliptin and metformin. It is prescribed in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes in adults. Saxagliptin belongs to a class of medications known as dipeptidyl peptidase, which increases insulin release from the pancreas and decreases the hormones that increase sugar levels in the bloodstream. This helps to reduce both fasting and post-meal sugar levels. Metformin belongs to a biguanide class of antidiabetic medicine. It reduces glucose production in the liver, delaying glucose absorption from the intestines and increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin. This combination of antidiabetic medicine, diet, and exercise helps control blood sugar levels.
