Steglujan is a prescription medication used in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus to improve glycemic control. It is a combination of two active ingredients, ertugliflozin and sitagliptin.
Ertugliflozin is a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor that helps reduce the amount of glucose reabsorbed by the kidneys and increases glucose excretion in urine. Sitagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor that helps reduce blood sugar levels by increasing the production of insulin and decreasing the production of glucagon.
Steglujan is prescribed as an adjunct to diet and exercise to control the level of blood pressure. Controlling high blood sugar helps prevent kidney damage, blindness, nerve problems, loss of limbs, and sexual function problems. Proper control of diabetes may also lessen your risk of a heart attack or stroke.
Steglujan is a film-coated tablet designed to be taken by mouth with or without food, as directed by your doctor, typically once a day in the morning. Take the tablet regularly to receive the most benefit from it. To help remember when to take it, take it at the same time every day. If your condition does not improve or if it becomes worse, such as having high or low blood sugar levels, inform your doctor.
The dosage depends on your medical condition and your response to treatment. However, the initial dose of ertugliflozin-sitagliptin is 5 mg of ertugliflozin and 100 mg of sitagliptin, taken orally, once a day, in the morning, with or without food. If you do not see a sufficient decrease in your blood glucose levels and require additional glucose control, your physician may gradually increase the dosage to a maximum of 15 mg of ertugliflozin and 100 mg of sitagliptin, taken once daily.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Steglujan (Ertugliflozin/Sitagliptin) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Steglujan may cause serious side effects, including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) which may be severe and lead to death. Certain medical problems make you more likely to get pancreatitis.
Take Steglatro by mouth 1 time in the morning each day, with or without food. Your doctor may change your dose if needed.
Steglatro starts working to lower your blood sugar about 1 hour after you take your first dose. But it may take a few months before your A1C starts to decrease.
Although it is not a weight loss medication, Steglatro may help you lose some weight. The people participating in the same study lost on average 5 pounds more than those taking placebo.
