Saxagliptin, sold under the brand name Onglyza, is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes.[1] It is typically used either with metformin or when metformin is not tolerated.[2] It is taken by mouth.[1]

Common side effects include headache and urinary tract infection.[1] Other side effects may include pancreatitis, joint pain, low blood sugar, and heart failure.[1] While there is no evidence of harm in pregnancy, its use has not been well studied.[3] It is in the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor class, which indirectly increases insulin when required.[1]

Saxagliptin was approved for medical use in the United States and Europe in 2009.[4][1] In the United Kingdom 4 weeks of treatment costs the NHS about £32 as of 2021.[2] This amount in the United States costs about 400 USD.[5] It is also available in combination with other medication including metformin or dapagliflozin.[2]
