Type 2 diabetes is a common disease today. The disease will get worse over time, causing patients to need a combination of drugs to treat it instead of a monotherapy with metformin. A good example of a combination diabetes drug is Kombiglyze XR. So what does Kombiglyze do?

Onglyza is a new antidiabetic drug that works by inhibiting the enzyme that breaks down two natural hormones in the body, secreted after eating, to reduce blood glucose levels. Using this drug prolongs the hypoglycemic effect after eating or after consuming sugar.
