WHAT SEGLUROMET IS USED FOR
•
SEGLUROMET lowers
blood sugar levels in adult
patients (aged 18 years and
older) with type 2 diabetes.
•
SEGLUROMET can be used
instead of taking both ertugliflozin
and metformin as separate tablets.
•
SEGLUROMET can be used alone
or with some other medicines that
lower blood sugar.
•
You need to keep following your
food and exercise plan while taking
SEGLUROMET.
HOW SEGLUROMET WORKS?
Ertugliflozin works by blocking the
SGLT2 protein in your kidneys. This
causes blood sugar to be removed in
your urine.
Insulin is a hormone produced by the
pancreas that makes your body take in
glucose (sugar) from the blood.
Your body uses glucose to produce
energy or stores it for future use.
If you have diabetes, your pancreas does
not make enough insulin or your body is
not able to use properly the insulin it
produces. This leads to a high level of
glucose in your blood. metformin helps
to lower your blood glucose to as normal
a level as possible.
•
If you are an overweight adult,
taking metformin over a long
period of time also helps to lower
the risk of complications
associated with diabetes.
Metformin is associated with
either a stable body weight or
modest weight loss.
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
