AI summarySynthesized from FDA + DailyMed + ClinicalTrials.gov data
ONGLYZA (saxagliptin) is an oral small-molecule DPP4 inhibitor approved in 2009 for type 2 diabetes mellitus. It works by slowing the inactivation of incretin hormones (GLP-1 and GIP), thereby increasing their concentrations and reducing fasting and postprandial glucose in a glucose-dependent manner. The mechanism preserves the body's natural glucose-sensing ability while enhancing insulin secretion only when blood glucose is elevated.
