Description

Kombiglyze Xr tablet is a combination medicine used to help manage type 2 diabetes in adults. It contains metformin and saxagliptin, which work together to lower and stabilise blood sugar levels. Metformin reduces the sugar produced by your liver. It improves how your body uses insulin, while saxagliptin helps your body release more insulin after meals and reduces sugar output from the liver by blocking a specific enzyme. This combination helps maintain better blood sugar control, especially after eating.

This medicine should be taken exactly as prescribed, usually with or after meals, to reduce side effects such as nausea, bloating, or diarrhoea. Some common side effects include vomiting, flatulence, loss of appetite, and abdominal discomfort. Always take it at the same time each day and never more than the recommended dose. If you miss a dose, take it with food as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for the next dose.

Certain medications, including strong antibiotics, antifungals, diuretics, steroids, and some seizure or thyroid medications, can interact with this medicine. These interactions may affect how well Kombiglyze Xr tablet works or increase the risk of side effects. It is essential to inform your doctor about all the medications you are taking and not to discontinue any of them without consulting a medical professional.

Avoid alcohol while taking this medicine, as it increases the risk of serious side effects like lactic acidosis, which can be life-threatening. Inform your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, consume alcohol regularly, or are scheduled for surgery or a scan with contrast dye. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should not use this medication unless explicitly advised by a doctor. Always watch for symptoms such as extreme tiredness, unusual muscle pain, or signs of vitamin B12 deficiency, and report any unusual symptoms to your healthcare provider.
