Kombiglyze XR (Saxagliptin and Metformin Extended-Release) Medication Information

Uses

Kombiglyze XR is a prescription medication for type 2 diabetes that contains two medicines in one pill: saxagliptin (Onglyza) and metformin extended-release (Glucophage XR). 

It is prescribed to reduce blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes along with a healthy diet and exercise.

In type 2 diabetes, your blood sugar (glucose) becomes too high.  Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that typically helps sugar get into your cells. But, if your body doesn’t recognize insulin properly, too much sugar stays in your blood.  Over time, high blood sugar can lead to many health problems and increase your risk of having a heart attack or stroke. 

The good news is you can take control of your diabetes by eating healthy foods, exercising, and taking your medications as prescribed.

Dosage

Kombiglyze XR (saxagliptin/metformin ER) oral tablets are available in three combination strengths: 5 mg/500 mg, 5 mg/1,000 mg, and 2.5 mg/1,000 mg.  

Your doctor may prescribe a low starting dose, then gradually increase it.  This gradual approach helps to prevent or reduce stomach side effects.  Stomach upset is a common (but usually temporary) side effect after starting or stepping up the metformin dose.

Kombiglyze XR is taken once daily with a meal.  Your doctor will decide the dosage that is best for you.

Precautions

Kombiglyze XR may not be safe for people with the following medical history or conditions:

  • Kidney or liver problems
  • Heart disease
  • Pancreas problems
  • Drink alcohol often, or occasionally drink large amounts of alcohol (“binge drink”)
  • Age 80 years or older (due to reduced kidney function with older age)
  • Pregnant or plan to become pregnant
  • Breastfeeding
  • Type 1 diabetes
  • History of an allergic reaction to Kombiglyze XR, saxagliptin (Onglyza), or metformin

Side Effects

Like all medications, Kombiglyze XR may cause side effects.  The most common side effects of Kombiglyze XR are mild, but severe side effects are also possible.  The most common side effects are stomach-related and go away after one to two weeks for most people.  

Common side effects may include:

  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Headache
  • Cold-like symptoms (runny nose, stuffy nose, or sore throat)
  • Upper respiratory tract infections
  • Urinary tract infections

Serious side effects can rarely occur with Kombiglyze XR.  These side effects require emergency medical care and may include:

  • Lactic acidosis (build-up of acid in the blood)
  • Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas)
  • Heart failure (heart doesn’t pump blood well)
  • Kidney damage
  • Dehydration
  • Joint pain
  • Low blood levels of vitamin B12
  • Skin reaction involving skin blisters 
  • Allergic reaction

Your doctor will prescribe Kombiglyze XR if the benefits of treatment outweigh your risks for serious side effects.  For more information about the side effects, talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

Interactions

Some potentially harmful drug interactions can happen with Kombiglyze XR. A few examples include:

  • Acetazolamide

  • Insulin or other medicines that lower blood sugar
  • Ketoconazole

Pharmacist Tips

  • Take each dose of Kombiglyze XR with a meal to reduce stomach upset.  
  • If you miss a dose, take it with food as soon as possible.  If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose.  Don’t take two doses at the same time.
  • Swallow Kombiglyze XR tablets whole; Don’t crush, chew, or cut in half.

Kombiglyze XR FAQs

Can I drink alcohol with Kombiglyze XR?

Drinking alcohol can increase the risk of dangerous side effects of Kombiglyze XR.  Talk with your doctor to decide if modest alcohol use is safe for you while taking Kombiglyze XR.   

 

I noticed Kombiglyze XR tablets in my stool.  Should I be concerned?

No.  The inactive (“filler”) ingredients of Kombiglyze XR tablets sometimes don’t completely dissolve.  If you notice the tablets intact in your stool, there is no need to worry.  Your body is still absorbing the active ingredients (saxagliptin and metformin ER).

 

What should I do if Kombiglyze XR upsets my stomach?

At first, Kombiglyze can cause diarrhea or nausea until your body gets used to it.   You can prevent or lessen stomach upset by always taking Kombiglyze with a meal, and don’t skip any doses.  If your symptoms become severe or don’t go away within two weeks, talk with your doctor.
