If you or someone you love developed congestive heart failure, other heart related health problems, pancreatitis or other pancreatic related problems, while taking Onglyza, it may be in your best interest to discuss your situation with an Onglyza lawsuit lawyer in DC, MD, and VA. Many people link Onglyza to an increased risk of heart and pancreatic failure as well as to pancreatic cancer. 

Onglyza

Onglyza is a medication for adults with type 2 diabetes. It was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in 2009. Along with a proper diet and exercise, it works by preventing the liver from creating excess sugar and it helps the pancreas to secrete insulin. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of extremities and limbs, and problems related to sexual function. In addition to these, proper control of diabetes may also lessen a person’s risk of heart attack or stroke.

Onglyza has been a popular diabetes medicine but unfortunately, many patients who have taken it have suffered from its serious, and sometimes even deadly, side effects. If you or someone close to you is the victim of one of them, an Onglyza lawsuit lawyer in DC, MD and VA may be able to help you. You or your loved one may be entitled to compensation for expenses related to Onglyza’s serious side effects.

Onglyza Risks

After Onglyza and its active ingredient, saxagliptin, as well as other DPP-4 inhibitors that contain it were approved, people who took it and doctors reported serious side effects that may be linked to taking it. In the unfortunate event that you or someone close to you has been the victim of one of these serious side effects, the sooner you discuss your situation with an Onglyza lawsuit lawyer in DC, MD and VA, the sooner they may be able to start protecting your or your loved one’s rights. 

After Onglyz’s approval, the FDA’s medication guide for Onglyza was updated with the warning that, taking it can lead to pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is an inflammation of the pancreas that occurs when digestive enzymes start digesting the pancreas itself. 

Under guidelines from the FDA, in 2015 Onglyza started to come with the warning that it also increased patients’ risk of heart failure (and pancreatitis). 

Many people who innocently took Onglyza and have suffered from its serious side effects have been able to get compensation for expenses related to their health problems, with the help of a good Onglyza lawsuit lawyer in DC, MD, and VA.
