What are Komboglyze Tablets?

Komboglyze contains the active ingredients Saxagliptin and Meformin. This is a treatment for type 2 diabetes used with proper diet and exercise to treat high blood sugar levels.

How do Saxagliptin and Metformin work as a treatment for Type 2 Diabetes?

Saxagliptin works to help control blood sugar levels by making the pancreas gland release more insulin.

Metformin works by reducing the absorption of sugar from the stomach, reducing the release of stored sugar from the liver, and helping your body use sugar better. This lowers the amount of glucose in the blood.
