Onglyza® Increases Risk of Heart Failure

Onglyza was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2009 to lower blood sugar in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Belonging to a class of diabetes drugs known as DPP-4 inhibitors, the drug is designed to help manage diabetes with no increased risk of hypoglycemia—or dangerously low blood sugar. Kombiglyze® XR, a combination of Onglyza and an older Type 2 diabetes drug, was approved one year later in 2010.

In October 2013, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed an increased risk of hospitalization for heart failure after taking saxagliptin.

The study prompted the FDA to issue a safety communication on February 11, 2014, stating it was investigating the link between Onglyza and the risk of heart failure.

In April 2015, an FDA advisory panel concluded that patients who take Onglyza face an increased risk of heart failure—a fatal condition in which the heart is weakened and can't pump enough blood to meet the body's needs.

According to FDA documents, one study showed a 27 percent increase in the rate of heart failure when taking Onglyza. As a result, members of the FDA advisory panel stated that the drug's labeling should be updated to warn of the heart failure risk.

    Always very professional. When we first called we had no idea if we even had a case, they told us we did. And even though the resolution took a little bit longer than expected, the wait was worth it. They get results and I really appreciated that they consistently gave me updates on the status of my case without me even asking. Thank you Ponce Law!

    My son was on a school bus… The school bus was hit… He was taken by ambulance to Vanderbilt. A friend of mine, here in town, owns a hair salon. And she had recommended him. So I actually sent Mr. Ponce a message on Facebook. He said he would love to help! And you know, asked me for some more details. And I’ll give them to him. Some things were sent electronically. That I could just go online and do. And it would be done with! Even the times that I have come into the office. I’m not stuck sitting out in the waiting room forever. I’m brought straight back. And within a minute or two… We were already started!

    The day of my accident, I was riding my scooter and then all sudden… The car just popped out of that other oncoming traffic. As far as trying to find a lawyer… It seemed like we could do it on our own… But it still seemed so iffy! I asked a friend what he thought, they’d mentioned Michael Ponce. And then when it was mentioned… It wasn’t with like… any hesitation. You should call Ponce Law because they will exceed your expectations.
