Onglyza vs Tradjenta
 | Onglyza |  | Tradjenta |  |
| Saxagliptin is used either alone or with other medications, and with a proper diet and exercise program, to control high blood sugar. It is used in people with type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke. This drug works by increasing levels of natural substances called incretins. Incretins help to control blood sugar by increasing insulin release, especially after a meal. They also decrease the amount of sugar your liver makes. This medication should not be used to treat people with type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes). | Linagliptin is used with a proper diet and exercise program and possibly with other medications to control high blood sugar.

| Add Onglyza review i been having pain in my legs and feet while i can't stand for a long time. I decided to do research on this pill.My pain comes on a regular basic now i mention it to my doctor she said its not coming from onglyza but what i read on the side effects so far it does. I really wanted this to work for me! But, started with a mild headache. I kept taking hoping it would eventually go away. But, headaches got worse until Ibuprofen stopped working and I couldn't get out of bed until the afternoons. Then stomach pains and indigestion. My blood sugars stayed the same the first few days, then went up 50 points the rest of the time. The last couple days of using this med, I started having dizzy spells. That's when I quit taking it. I'm sticking with low-carb. Better results without the side effects! I just learned that the diabetes drug Onglyza might be causing Pancreitic cancer. I take 5mgs aday. Iam calling my doctor next week for an appointment to discus this. | Add Tradjenta review I have had hardly no side effects from this drug. if any has been a bit harder to go to sleep & not sure that's from the meds. {much less like Metformin where I was getting diarrhea & nausea} Useless, insurance Sunshine State Health made me use it instead of Victoza (which was the only medication that kept my blood sugar levels in control). All other drugs kept me somewhere between 130 and 190, with Tradjenta I'm always over 200. | |||
