STEGLUJAN (ertugliflozin and sitagliptin)
WHAT IS STEGLUJAN?
STEGLUJAN is a tablet that is taken orally in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve their blood sugar control. It is used in conjunction with diet and exercise.
HOW DOES STEGLUJAN WORK?
STEGLUJAN is a combination tablet. It contains ertugliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor, and sitagliptin, a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor. Ertugliflozin reduces the amount of glucose that is reabsorbed from the kidneys and so lowers blood glucose concentrations in the blood. Sitagliptin prevents the breakdown of incretin hormones. Incretin hormones increase the secretion of insulin and decrease the concentration of glucagon. Inhibition of incretin breakdown reduces blood glucose levels in the blood.
