Over the last few years, however, Saxagliptin has repeatedly been linked to a number of serious side effects, including anaphylactic shock, acute pancreatitis and upper respiratory tract infection. In 2014, the FDA launched an investigation of the health risks of the drug after receiving reports of higher than normal fatal heart attacks among users. The FDA’s investigation found that individuals who used Onglyza had a 27% higher risk of heart failure than those not using the product. In April, 2016, the FDA issued an additional warning regarding the elevated risk of heart failure for patients using Onglyza.
Onglyza users have also reported alarming rates of pancreatic and thyroid cancer. As a result, the FDA has requested warnings to appear on the drug’s label, referring to the cancer and cardiac risks.
