What Are the Dangers of Taking Kombiglyze?

In 2016, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found that medications containing saxagliptin increased the risk of heart failure in patients with preexisting heart and kidney conditions. In 2017, the FDA added a black box warning to Kombiglyze regarding the risk of lactic acidosis.

Besides lactic acidosis and heart failure, other side-effects of Kombiglyze include:

Pancreatitis – inflammation of the pancreas
Arthralgia – severe joint pain
Hypoglycemia – low blood sugar

If you suspect that you are suffering from a severe side-effect of Kombiglyze, you should call your doctor immediately. Importantly, do not stop taking Kombiglyze without first consulting a healthcare professional.

If you have experienced the following symptoms of heart failure, contact a health care professional immediately:

Unusual shortness of breath during daily activities
Trouble breathing when lying down
Weakness, exhaustion, fatigue
Weight gain with swelling in the joints and extremities

If you have experienced the following symptoms, consult a health care professional as soon as possible as you may be suffering from lactic acidosis:
