KOMBOGLYZE® - Canada Product Information



Komboglyze® is a medication used to help control blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It contains two active ingredients: saxagliptin and metformin hydrochloride.


HOW DOES KOMBOGLYZE® WORK?

Komboglyze® helps your body manage blood sugar levels in two ways:
  1. Saxagliptin: Helps your body produce more insulin when your blood sugar is high.
  2. Metformin: Reduces the amount of sugar your liver releases into your blood and helps your body respond better to insulin.

WHO SHOULD TAKE KOMBOGLYZE®?

Komboglyze® is for adults with type 2 diabetes. It is used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control. It can be taken:
  • When already treated with saxagliptin and metformin.
  • When not adequately controlled with metformin alone.
  • With a sulfonylurea or insulin if more than one medicine is needed to control blood sugar.

  • DO NOT TAKE KOMBOGLYZE® IF YOU:?

  • Have type 1 diabetes.
  • Have a history of diabetic ketoacidosis.
  • Have severe kidney problems.
  • Drink a lot of alcohol.
  • Are allergic to saxagliptin, metformin, or any other ingredients in the medicine.
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • DOSAGE

    Komboglyze® is available in the following dosages:
    • 2.5 mg saxagliptin / 500 mg metformin
    • 2.5 mg saxagliptin / 850 mg metformin
    • 2.5 mg saxagliptin / 1000 mg metformin
    Take it as prescribed by your doctor, typically twice daily with meals.

    HOW TO TAKE KOMBOGLYZE®

  • Take Komboglyze® exactly as your doctor prescribes.
  • It is usually taken twice a day with meals to reduce the risk of stomach upset.
  • Swallow the tablets whole with water.

  • POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS

    Like all medicines, Komboglyze® can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them. Possible side effects include:
  • Common: Diarrhea, nausea, and stomach upset.
  • Serious, but rare: Lactic acidosis (a buildup of lactic acid in the blood) and pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).

  • WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

  • Lactic Acidosis: Rare but serious, it can be fatal. Symptoms include weakness, muscle pain, trouble breathing, stomach pain, dizziness, and feeling cold.
  • Pancreatitis: Stop taking Komboglyze® and see a doctor if you have severe stomach pain that won’t go away, with or without vomiting.
  • Kidney Function: Regular monitoring is important because both active ingredients are processed through the kidneys.
  • Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol intake while taking this medication.

  • STORAGE

    Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

    Keep out of the reach of children.
