ONGLYZA 2.5MG TABLET 14'S

How ONGLYZA 2.5MG TABLET 14'S Works

• ONGLYZA 2.5MG TABLET 14'S is an antidiabetic medication designed to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as DPP-4 inhibitors, which work through a dual mechanism to improve glycemic control. Primarily, it enhances the release of insulin from the pancreas, the organ responsible for producing this crucial hormone. Insulin is essential for allowing glucose from the bloodstream to enter cells, where it can be used for energy.
• In addition to stimulating insulin secretion, ONGLYZA 2.5MG TABLET 14'S also reduces the secretion of glucagon, a hormone that signals the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream. By lowering glucagon levels, this medication helps to prevent excessive glucose production by the liver, further contributing to lower blood sugar levels.
• The combined effect of increased insulin release and decreased glucagon secretion results in a significant reduction in both fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels. This helps to maintain stable blood sugar levels throughout the day, reducing the risk of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and associated complications. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is recommended while taking this medication to ensure optimal glycemic control. It is also typically used in conjunction with diet and exercise.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them.
