Steglatro (Ertugliflozin) is an oral diabetes medication used in combination with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Steglatro is typically used with insulin or other diabetes medications. Steglatro is used when diet, exercise, and weight reduction have not been found to lower blood glucose well enough on its own. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Steglatro works by reducing kidney absorption of glucose, as well as the kidneys threshold for glucose, which leads to an increase in urinary excretion of glucose. Before using this medication, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, bladder infections or other urination problems, low blood pressure, heart problems, problems with your pancreas, if you drink alcohol often, or if you are on a low salt diet. Tell your doctor about any other medications you are currently using in order to reduce the risk of interactions. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or become pregnant, as your dose may need to be different. You should not use this medication during the second or third trimester. You should not breastfeed while using Steglatro. If you experience any serious side effects, signs of ketoacidosis, signs of a genital infection, or signs of an allergic reaction, seek emergency medical attention.
