Product liability attorneys are available for potential plaintiffs looking to bring Onglyza and Kombiglyze XR side effects lawsuits against the pharmaceuticals’ manufacturers.

Onglyza and Kombiglyze XR are popular type-2 diabetes medications that contain the active ingredient saxagliptin. Both medications have been linked to various forms of cancer, including thyroid cancer and pancreatic cancer. The medications are also alleged to cause an increased risk of hospitalization due to heart failure.

Onglyza and Kombiglyze XR Heart Failure

A study was recently funded by Astra Zeneca and Bristol Meyers Squibb that looked into Onglyza and Kombiglyze side effects. The study found that patients who used saxagliptin had a higher risk of experiencing hospitalization due to heart failure. Although this risk was determined to be statistically insignificant, medication researchers believe further testing should be conducted.

Heart failure is a condition where the heart muscle becomes too weak to pump blood throughout the body. Treatment for heart failure requires significant lifestyle changes. A patient will need to monitor their diet, exercise, reduce salt intake, and in some cases lose weight.
