User Reviews for Onglyza oral

I have high sugar readings in the morning and taking Onglyza greatly improved my levels in the morning and during the day. I also take Amaryl in the morning and after dinner. I was doing great on the drug up to about one month later. I developed pain in my knees at first. Then it progressed to my upper thighs and calves. I literally could not walk. The pain was so bad that I could not sleep and there was nothing to help alleviate the pain. I thought that maybe, I had sciatica or some form of arthritis. I was also on Crestor and I thought that my leg cramps might be caused by that medication. I stopped the Crestor and the pains got worse. I got to the point that I was crying. I finally decided that I must come off of this horrible medication and without doctor's orders, I did. After about two days, my pain has improved and I can finally I can finally walk and function again. I will have to notify my doctor of my action and I will never take this medication again. It is very expensive and I would rather die than take this medication again. Read More Read Less

This medication is really bad for me. The side effects that it has caused to me are terrible! It should be ilegal to sell a medication like this.

If you take Coumadin or another blood thinner you should never take Onglyza. It has a dramatically adverse effect on your Coumadin levels and the Coumadin seems to destroy any positive effect the Onglyza has on blood sugar levels. After a month on Onglyza, with no other changes in diet or medication, my Coumadin levels were at historic lows. 2 weeks after stopping Onglyza the Coumadin level was back to normal and blood sugar was improved

I've been on this med for approx. 2 weeks now. I was afraid at first from all of the negative comments I read. However, this has been the best thing for me. My numbers have improved tremendously. I've had no problems and will continue to use it.

I took ongliza a few days and feel asleep within a few hours of taking it. I was too grogy to drive or do much of anything except sleep. It did not seem to help my blood sugar level

After taking Onglyza for 5 weeks my morning blood sugar improved from 250 to 145. However, I also became alergic with swelling and irritation in the mouth. I currently take Metformin 1000 x 2 a day and am exploring other medications with my doctor to better control my morning blood sugar.

I have been taking this for last 3 weeks. For the first time I saw my # in morning go to 110 range. I always have been seeing it around 150-180. But then it again jump back to 190 now so I am not seeing lots if improvement. Might give a try for another week. I am taking glimeperide 5mg and metforming 1000 mg twice a day and started Onglyza. One symptom I am feeling is heart burn and acid reflux started this week, 3 rd week on onglyza.

Ditched ACTOS 6 mos ago, and started Onglyza. My morning surgars are down from avg 225 to 120. Have experienced tingling in both hands in last month. No feet issues. I take 1000mg metformin am and pm. get my 6 mo A1C next week. We shall see positive trend. Difficult to lose weight despite heavy physical activity.

I have been on Onglyza for about a week; and I have noticed that my blood sugars are at an acceptable range. I'am very much pleased with this medication and its effectiveness. My medical ins. takes care of most of the cost, I only pay $9.00 for 30 pills.

Taken since 3/2010 with Metformin 500 am - 1000 at dinner, Lantus 14 units at bed. Lowered my am readings from 180+ to 120 providing I don’t eat late at night. No side effects noticed except: possible strange vivid dreams. Will talk to Dr. about this. No weight or appetite loss. Over all, very satisfied with this med.

Was experiencing morning highs around 220-280, After started Onglyza, my morning readings are 100-117. I feel so much better!

i have been on this medication for about 2 weeks now and it seems to be helping lower my blood sugars the only thing it is very costly and i don't think i can afford to but it other than that it is great

Been taking Onglyza 5mg for one week along with Metformin 1000mg am and 1000mg pm. Noticable decline in glucose levels, however experiencing headaches,dry mouth, sleepleness, very lethargic, and loss of appetite resulting in 5lb weight loss in 1 week. Although the weight loss could be an added benefit in long term control of glucose levels. Hopeing the othe side effects deminish over time.

I had trouble getting my sugar down. So asked my Dr to try it. It really works well for my type 2 diabetes.Mornings my sugar would spike.

My husband was diagnosed by our General Doctor as type2, but the tests has come back as type 1. He has been taking Onglyza, and it reduced his sugar from 400-500 to 100-120. If this doesn't continue to help, he was told his only logical option will be insulin. So far, so good.

Started Onglyza with Metformin and another med after I had to stop Actos. Onglyza is very expensive med and doesn't seem to work at all for me. I stll have high morning fasting blood sugar readings....same as I had when I stopped Actos. Seems to be of no help.

i've just recently started this drug and have noticed that i am bloated and have indigestion after meals, and have noticed excessive body heat, sweats.
