Steglatro

Managing type 2 diabetes often means finding the right balance between diet, lifestyle, and medication. For some people, lifestyle changes alone are not enough to keep glucose levels within a healthy range.

Steglatro tablets are an oral diabetes treatment designed to improve blood sugar control when additional support is needed. The active ingredient ertugliflozin belongs to a group of medicines called SGLT2 inhibitors, which allow the body to remove excess glucose through urine. By supporting daily glucose management, Steglatro can support long-term diabetes management when used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Steglatro is a diabetes medication prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar levels are not adequately controlled. It may be used as a single treatment when medicines such as metformin are not suitable, alongside other oral diabetes treatments or insulin, or when diet and exercise alone are not providing enough blood sugar control. Steglatro works as part of a wider diabetes management plan focused on improving overall glucose control.

Steglatro contains ertugliflozin, an SGLT2 inhibitor. The kidneys normally filter glucose from the blood and then reabsorb it back into the body. SGLT2 inhibitors work by blocking this reabsorption process. This allows excess glucose to leave the body through urine, which can lower blood sugar levels, improve daily glucose management, and support overall diabetic care. As it works through the kidneys rather than insulin alone, Steglatro can complement other sugar-control tablets used in diabetes treatment.

Steglatro tablets are typically available in two strengths: Steglatro 5 mg tablets and Steglatro 15 mg tablets. Treatment usually starts at a lower dose and may be increased if further blood sugar control is required.

Always follow the instructions provided by your prescriber during your consultation. Take Steglatro once daily, usually in the morning. The tablet can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet with water. Your prescriber may adjust the dose depending on your response to treatment and your overall diabetes management plan.

If you forget to take your tablet, take it when you remember. However, do not take two doses on the same day. As ertugliflozin works through the kidneys, your prescriber may check kidney function before starting treatment, monitor kidney health periodically, and adjust treatment if kidney function changes.

Steglatro may be suitable for adults who:

• Have type 2 diabetes.
• Need additional blood sugar control.
• Cannot tolerate certain other diabetes medicines.
• Require combination oral diabetes treatment.

Steglatro may not be suitable for people who:

• Have type 1 diabetes.
• Have severe kidney problems.
• Are receiving dialysis.
• Have a history of certain serious diabetes complications.

Your prescriber will determine whether this diabetes medication is appropriate after reviewing your health history.

Like all diabetes medications, Steglatro can cause side effects in some people.

Common Side Effects:

• Increased urination
• Mild dehydration
• Genital yeast infections
• Urinary tract infections

These side effects are often mild and may improve as your body adjusts to treatment.

Serious Side Effects:

• Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)
• Severe infections in the genital area
• Significant dehydration or low blood pressure

Seek medical advice if you experience severe symptoms such as persistent nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, unusual tiredness, or difficulty breathing.

For many adults with type 2 diabetes, managing blood sugar levels requires more than just diet and exercise. Steglatro tablets offer an additional option when stronger glucose management is needed. People may choose Steglatro because it supports daily blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, works differently from some other oral diabetes treatments, and can be used alone or alongside other diabetes medications. For some patients, adding Steglatro to their treatment plan improves overall diabetic care and maintains more stable sugar levels over time.
