I've been prescribed Kombiglyze XR 2.5-1000mg Tablets to help manage my type 2 diabetes. It's a combination of saxagliptin and metformin, which together help control blood sugar levels. I'm taking it once a day with my evening meal as instructed. Has anyone else used this medication? I'm curious to know about your experiences, especially with side effects. The possible side effects list is quite long, and I'm a bit nervous about what to expect. The urgent side effects section is particularly concerning, so I hope I don't experience anything like that. I know stomach problems are common when starting the medication, but I'm hoping they subside quickly. Who here has had to deal with the upset stomach, vomiting, or diarrhea? On the other hand, I'm aware that diarrhea is a symptom of low blood sugar, which I'm trying to avoid. Some of the other symptoms listed, like joint pain and signs of a urinary tract infection, are not what I want to deal with.
