Onglyza Information
Onglyza is a medication commonly prescribed for Type 2 diabetes in adults. It works by regulating the breakdown of a group of hormones called Incretins. It thus helps the body to produce more insulin on intake of food. It also lowers the amount of sugar released in the blood by the liver. So the overall concentration of circulating sugar gets properly regulated. Onglyza is not for children and patients with Type 1 diabetes. It is only for adults with Type 2 diabetes. Cheap Onglyza is found in most chemists shop.
