What is Steglatro?

Steglatro is an FDA-approved medication manufactured by Merck. It is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is not recommended in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus or to treat diabetic ketoacidosis.

Steglatro can be used on its own but is also available as a fixed-dose combination with sitagliptin. Clinical trials show that a decrease in HbA1c (a measure of blood glucose levels) is greater when taken with metformin than with a placebo.

What doses of Steglatro are available?

Steglatro is available as a pink triangular 5 mg tablet with “701” on one side and plain on the other. It is also available as a red triangular 15 mg tablet with “702” on one side and plain on the other. The tablets should be stored at room temperature. Store in a dry place and avoid moisture.

The dose may be increased to Steglatro 15 mg dose once daily in patients who tolerate the 5 mg but need additional glycemic control.

Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Steglatro active ingredients

The active ingredient of Steglatro is ertugliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor. SGLT2 (sodium-glucose co-transporter-2) is the main transporter responsible for the reabsorption of glucose from the glomerular filtrate back into circulation. By inhibiting SGLT2, ertugliflozin reduces renal reabsorption of filtered glucose and reduces the renal threshold for glucose, thereby increasing urinary glucose excretion.

The most common side effects caused by Steglatro include:

• Female genital mycotic infections
• Fournier’s gangrene – tell your doctor right away if you have a yeast infection
• High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) – increased thirst or urination, blurred vision, headache, and tiredness
