Recommended Dosage

The recommended dosage of ONGLYZA is 2.5 mg or 5 mg orally once daily taken regardless of meals. Do not cut, crush, or chew ONGLYZA tablets.

If a dose is missed, advise patients not to take an extra dose. Resume treatment with the next dose.

Dosage in Patients with Renal Impairment

Assess renal function prior to initiation of ONGLYZA and then as clinically indicated.

The recommended dosage of ONGLYZA in patients with an eGFR greater than or equal to 45 mL/minute/1.73 m2 is the same as the recommended dosage in patients with normal renal function.

The dosage of ONGLYZA is 2.5 mg orally once daily for patients with eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m2 [which includes a subset of moderate or severe renal impairment, or with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring hemodialysis]. ONGLYZA should be administered following hemodialysis. ONGLYZA has not been studied in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis.

Dosage Modification with Concomitant Use of Strong CYP3A4/5 Inhibitors

The dosage of ONGLYZA is 2.5 mg orally once daily when used concomitantly with strong cytochrome P450 3A4/5 (CYP3A4/5) inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, atazanavir, clarithromycin, indinavir, itraconazole, nefazodone, nelfinavir, ritonavir, saquinavir, and telithromycin).
