1. WHAT THE MEDICINE IS INTENDED FOR?
Steglatro is intended, in addition to diet and exercise, to improve
the control of sugar levels in
the blood in adults aged 18 years and older with type 2 diabetes: as a
single treatment in
patients which can’t receive treatment with metformin or as an
addition to other medicines
which are intended for the use in diabetes.
THERAPEUTIC GROUP:
Steglatro contains the active substance ertugliflozin.
Steglatro is a member of a group of medicines called sodium glucose
co-transporter-2
(SGLT2) inhibitors.
HOW STEGLATRO WORKS
Ertugliflozin works by blocking the SGLT2 protein in your kidneys
causing increased
excretion of the glucose in the urine.
WHAT IS TYPE 2 DIABETES?
Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body does not make enough
insulin or the
insulin that your body produces does not work as well as it should.
Your body can also make
too much sugar. When this happens, sugar (glucose) builds up in the
blood. This can lead to
serious medical problems like heart disease, kidney disease, blindness
and poor circulation.

4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
The recommended starting dose of ertugliflozin is 5 mg once daily. In
patients tolerating ertugliflozin
5 mg once daily, the dose can be increased to 15 mg once daily if
additional glycaemic control is
needed.
When ertugliflozin is used in combination with insulin or an insulin
secretagogue, a lower dose of
insulin or the insulin secretagogue may be required to reduce the risk
of hypoglycaemia (see
sections 4.4, 4.5, and 4.8).
In patients with volume depletion, correcting this condition prior to
initiation of ertugliflozin is
recommended (see section 4.4).
If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon
