It is used in combination with diet and exercise to improve control of blood glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus when treatment with both ertugliflozin and sitagliptin is appropriate. Steglujan is not recommended for the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis and has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis.
